JONATHAN JAMES
PRESIDENT / CEO

Jonathan lives with severe Hemophilia A and is passionate about helping people and inspiring people to realize their value in spite of any physical limitations. Jonathan has a background in financial planning and helped start Hope Charities in 2009 after going through a medical crisis personally and realized the great need for assistance for people facing a crisis caused by chronic illness.

ELLIOTT FROM
LIVE ARTIST

Elliott From’s performances have been called “explosive”. Whether he is throwing paint at the canvas with frenetic energy, or carefully tracing the outline of an image, there is no mistaking his work. His talent has taken him around the world performing for iconic events such as the Olympic Games, the NHL Playoffs, the Kentucky Derby, and numerous others, but he is most known for his “BIG” heart. To date the sale of Elliott’s work has raised over 3.75 million dollars for charity, and that number continues to grow. Elliott currently resides in Chicago, and is the owner of Artbeat Live Studios and Artbeat Gallery.
