The first time he removed materials from their original context to create something for others was in 2012. With the St. Jude’s Heart Mathis help to raise over 700.000 USD for St. Jude’s Children Hospital.
Then it became an annual tradition, his 2013 sculpture, the one which helped to raise over one million dollars is on permanent display at Las Vegas’ Choice Center University.
Now he continues to serve on the St. Jude’s Art Advisory Board and Las Vegas’ Opportunity Village Charity Fundraising Gala.
