Brendan’s Fund

Creative Direction // Art + Design / Brand



Since 1995, I've led the creative direction for this grassroots pediatric cancer benefit, shaping its visual identity and creative initiatives. What began as a single surf event poster has grown into decades of design, collaborations, and merchandise, contributing to more than $3 million raised, increased public awareness, and recognition from the White House.

Music Compilations


A series of music compilations were created to sell at the events and online. The compilations extended revenue and carried the fund's message to a global audience. They featured a mix of genres and enlisted artists to make it special.

Enlisted Artists: Jack Johnson, Ben Harper, G. Love, Slightly Stoopid, Bad Brains, Tristan Prettyman, Princes of Babylon, Chuck Treece (McRad), Chino Moreno (Deftones), The White Buffalo, Dave Quicks, and Don McCloskey.




Family Vol. 1


The first song to be written and recorded for the fund. It set the tone and emotion for the compilations.

The Princes of Babylon






Family Vol. 2


The second compilation continued the range of music and emotion. Featuring unreleased music from Jack Johnson, G. Love, Slightly Stoopid, Dave Quicks, Tristan Prettyman, and this raw version of Amen Omen by Ben Harper.




Family Vol. 3


We enlisted the legendary Bad Brains, along with Chino Moreno and Chuck Treece. We recorded a version of “Rock For Light” to end the compilation. The artwork created for this 30 song double disk is a storybook of metaphoric imagery told from dawn to dusk.










The Sun Never Sets


On the fund’s 25th anniversary, it transitioned into an endowment fund and partnership with the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.

Inspired by the idea that the sun never truly sets, the campaign symbolizes the endowment fund's commitment to delivering continuous support to children and families, today and indefinitely into the future.
