SLB is a great asset to Western PA and the surrounding area. At its heart Larry Berger, the host, brings entertainment and educational fun into homes and cars every saturday morning through the radio. The acoustic musicians they host are outstanding and their work with young people is to be admired. They also lead workshops working directly with kids. If you have never listened to the show tune in, and then donate to help them achieve their greater goals to bring quality family entertainment to the entire region over the airwaves.

The Great!
  • I've seen the results of this organization in... they way they entertain the whole family.
  • What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is... The music and games..
  • The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were... Friendly, intellegent and entertaining.
  • If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could... Broadcast nationwide!
Ways to make it better!
  • My experience would have been better if... They were on even more stations with a broader reach in the region and beyond.
  • If I ran this organization, I would... keep on the right track and expanding into satelite radio.
  • In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are... as with any organization financial support!
  • One thing I'd also say is that... I've enjoyed the show for many years. and you can visit them live at the children's museum of pittsburgh every saturday!

MY ROLE:
I was a Client Served & I tune in on Saturdays

The ToonSeum is a new gallery within the Children's Museum of Pittsburgh. The are just starting the non-profit process with the hopes of opening a seperate museum of cartoon art in Pittsburgh. The gallery they have now is small but they have a great enthusiasm for the cartoon arts. They feature original cartoon art on display. It would be great to have a full museum in Pittsburgh dedicated to one of the world's most popular art forms, cartooning. They have a great board with many well known cartoonists and business owners. They could use a lot of help to get things off the ground and I know donations, volunteers and services are all needed. Check out the gallery to get a glimpse of their vision for their future museum.

The Great!
  • I've seen the results of this organization in... Children and adults alike share a passion for the art. They make an effort to display art across the generations. Its all authentic and original cartoon art!
  • What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is... Kids and parent and grandparents sharing their memories about the cartoons they grew up with.
  • The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were... Friendly, helpful and knowledgeable.
  • If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could... Open a full hands on museum dedicated to cartoon arts!
Ways to make it better!
  • My experience would have been better if... The gallery were larger.
  • In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are... Fundraising, but isnt that always the case?
  • One thing I'd also say is that... be sure to visit them sometime at the ToonSeum Gallery at Children's Museum of Pittsburgh
