Lexington, Ky. (PRWEB) May 12, 2010 -- Big Ass Fans® (http://www.bigassfans.com/), the leading designer and manufacturer of large-diameter, low-speed ceiling and vertical fans, has partnered with Art Start (http://www.art-start.org/), a New York City non-profit organization that uses art and music to change young lives and transform the community. To coincide with the Big Ass Fans residential product launch of Isis® (http://www.bigassfans.com/residential/index.html), a silent, sleek, energy-efficient, luxury ceiling fan, the company will donate 5% of Isis sales during May and June 2010 to Art Start, in an effort to support a remodel of their art rooms in a lower Manhattan homeless shelter.
“Art Start provides at-risk youth with opportunity and hope through art,” said Carey Smith, president and CEO, Big Ass Fans. “Big Ass Fans is pleased to donate a portion of the sales proceeds of our new residential fan, Isis, to support Art Start’s mission.”
Art Start volunteer artists work with kids in homeless shelters, group homes, and alternative-to-incarceration programs. Through painting, dancing, hip hop, piano, poetry and a myriad of other art forms, the organization uses the arts to enable their youth participants to rise above hardship by replacing frustration and instability with a sense of accomplishment, confidence and direction.
For the past 18 years, one of Art Start’s programs has conducted weekly workshops within three rooms in this shelter. The spaces have been maintained, but are poorly lit, unwelcoming and outdated. With the help of a SoHo design firm, Art Start seeks to transform these special spaces within the shelter to a new home for the Art Start kids. A space that is bright, clean, modern, eco-friendly and welcoming.
“We’re seeking to turn Art Start into a “place” of pride, possibility and inspiration for all children and volunteers who come together each week to create, dream and achieve,” said Johanna De Los Santos, Executive Director, Art Start. “It’s companies like Big Ass Fans that help us make this happen. We are grateful for their support!”

Hemorrhoids Anatomy
The arteries supplying blood to the anal canal descend into the canal from the rectum above and form a rich network of arteries that communicate with each other around the anal canal. Because of this rich network of arteries, hemorrhoidal blood vessels have a ready supply of arterial blood. This explains why bleeding from hemorrhoids is bright red (arterial blood) rather than dark red (venous blood), and why bleeding from hemorrhoids occasionally can be severe. The blood vessels that supply the hemorrhoidal vessels pass through the supporting tissue of the hemorrhoidal cushions.
