In January 2006, an exciting new Safari Club International Foundation Humanitarian Services project evolved. After years of planning and discussion, the Humanitarian Services committee and a few of their dedicated supporters created a unique project to promote and fund the Pathfinder and Humanitarian Services program.

Founded by John Banovich and Gene Rurka, Humanitarian Service Committee Chair, at the January 2006 SCI live auction, a one-of-a-kind, never "been done before" painting was presented by three internationally recognized artists.

John Banovich, Kobus Moller and Daniel Smith collaborated and painted on one canvas. Like the three tenors, this cumulative effect proved to elevate the performance to a one-of- a- kind original masterpiece. Each artist signed the final canvas and the certificate of authenticity, formally acknowledging the creation of this unique work of art.

Promising to be a truly unique, one-time opportunity to acquire an original work of art, by three of the world`s best-know artists as well as support humanitarian services, the Safari Club members met the challenge with great enthusiasm!

The bidding for this unique original surpassed all expectations and after an exciting and aggressive bidding war, the original commanded the price of $103,000.00!!





This framed original,Tatu, is sized at 42" x 60"
