    The SIGGRAPH Graphics Pioneers, an organization formed by scientists, engineers, artists, and industry professionals in computer graphics have adopted a house being built by the Make It Right Foundation. The Pioneers are asking you to help survivors of Hurricane Katrina with monetary donations to the foundation.
