The Boys and Girls Clubs of Naples, Florida provides programs to disadvantaged children in the greater Naples, Florida area. As a fund raising initiative, Naples officials decided to follow the lead of Milwaukee, WI (cows), Dallas, TX (horses), and other cities across the USA using cast models painted by local artists and auctioned off to the highest bidder.
Bill Klopping (Beyond Design Studios) took the lead in delivering lightweight, rotationally cast alligator models made from TASK® 15 liquid plastic. TASK 15 was chosen because models made with it would be virtually indestructible (high impact resistance) for being in proximity to the general public as well as easily painted by local artists. The fund raiser was a complete success, providing much need funding for worthwhile programs for disadvantaged children.
