School Portrait Fundraiser

Turn Your Child's School Portrait into a Timeless Work of Art

Celebrate your child while supporting your school.

The School Portrait Fundraiser gives families the opportunity to commission a custom hand painted portrait created from their child's official school photograph. Every portrait is personally created by professional artist Gerard Brennen, and 25% of every commission is donated directly to your school's PTA, PTO, or designated fundraising program.

This is more than a fundraiser. It is an opportunity to preserve a special moment in your child's life while helping provide valuable resources for the entire school community.

Only 20 Portrait Commissions Available

Every portrait is individually hand painted and requires many hours of careful craftsmanship.

To ensure each family receives the highest quality artwork, this fundraiser is limited to 20 portrait commissions. Once all commission spaces have been reserved, ordering will close for the year.

If you would like to commission a portrait while supporting your school, we encourage you to reserve your place early.

A Fundraiser Families Will Treasure

Many school fundraisers ask families to purchase products that are enjoyed for only a short time.

This fundraiser is different.

Each commissioned portrait becomes a lasting work of art that celebrates your child and becomes part of your family's story. It is a keepsake that can be displayed in your home, shared with loved ones, and passed down for generations.

At the same time, every commission helps support your school through a 25% donation from each portrait purchased.

Every Portrait Is Hand Painted

Every portrait is personally hand painted by artist Gerard Brennen using professional digital painting techniques.

Each brushstroke is painted by hand. No artificial intelligence, automated filters, or one click effects are used in the creation of your artwork. Every commission receives the individual care, attention, and craftsmanship that only an artist can provide.

Your finished portrait is professionally produced as a museum quality archival giclée print, created to retain its beauty for generations to come.

A Truly Hassle Free Fundraiser

This fundraiser has been designed to be simple for your school.

There are no order forms to collect, no inventory to organize, no payments to process, and no volunteers needed to manage the fundraiser.

I personally handle every step of the process, including online ordering, customer communication, portrait creation, professional printing, packaging, shipping, and customer support.

Your school's role is simple.

Share the fundraiser with families and direct them to this website.

I take care of everything else.

How It Works

  1. Families visit this website.

  2. Choose their child's school portrait.

  3. Select their preferred artwork size and finish.

  4. I personally hand paint every portrait.

Why Commission a Portrait?

A photograph records a moment.

A painting preserves a memory.

A hand painted portrait captures not only your child's appearance, but also the warmth, personality, and spirit that make them unique. It transforms an everyday school photograph into a timeless piece of fine art your family will treasure for decades.
