College bookstore selling note cards featuring one of Joan's paintings.

Proceeds support The Joan Gaeta Lung Cancer Foundation. The following is an excerpt from an article that will appear in the Summer 2008 edition of BonAlumnus, the St. Bonaventure University alumni magazine. Read the entire article here. .......[St. Bonaventure University President] Sr. Margret’s interest in a special painting, painted by an extraordinary woman, as well as a family’s passion and persistence helped to allow Joan’s watercolor painting of the St. Bonaventure bell tower to be distributed on note cards. The note cards that are printed with this painting are, today, for sale in the Regina A. Quick Center for the Arts and the St. Bonaventure University Bookstore. The proceeds from these note cards will be used to benefit the Joan Gaeta Lung Cancer Foundation. This foundation was set up by the family of Joan Gaeta as a way to honor her indomitable spirit. The money that is raised for this foundation will be put toward cancer research, a cause that Joan was passionate about since so many people, including herself, are diagnosed with cancer while leading healthy and addiction free lives........
