Thank you to the 80 celebrities and artisans who donated amazing items to our T-P7 Talent & Treasures Auction, which concluded shortly before our Sept. 30 send-off for the daily Times-Picayune.
Anderson Cooper, The Ellen Show, “Good Morning America,” “TODAY Show,” “This Week with George Stephanopoulos,” Cokie Roberts, the Newseum, CNN’s Soledad O’Brien, “Meet the Press” and Walter Isaacson – along with dozens of current and former Times-Picayune artists and photographers and New Orleans businesses – all donated items or experiences to the auction.
We ultimately raised about $12,000 from online bids from 13 states. Money raised has directly benefited Times-Picayune employees and contractors losing their jobs because of the newspaper’s decision to end daily publication Sept. 30.

How do I buy an original Steve Kelley autographed cartoon?
Foss, Steve graciously donated four original cartoons to us for our online auction in September 2012, but they all sold, so we no longer have any. The only email address I had for him was his Times-Picayune address, which no longer works. If you Google him, however, you will find a website for his cartoon syndicate and it could perhaps help you get in touch with him if you want to pursue obtaining a cartoon directly from him. Good luck.
Thank you. I have enjoyed his cartoons since The Dartmouth Review days.
