THE CHAMPION CAMPAIGN<\/p>

Choose the Lugufelo sculpture that speaks to you.<\/span>Strength. Transformation. Vision. Resilience. Individuality.<\/span><\/h1>

Each Wear the Art<\/strong> design begins with an original sculpture created by Luis Fern\u00e1ndez \u2014 Lugufelo<\/strong>. Today, as Luis lives with Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP)<\/strong>, his art has taken on a new and deeply personal purpose.
50% of the proceeds received by Wear the Art from merchandise sales will be donated to CurePSP<\/strong>, helping support its mission to raise awareness, build community, improve care, and find a cure for PSP, CBD, and MSA. The remaining campaign proceeds will help support Luis and his family with the medical treatment, therapies, care, and daily needs associated with living with this progressive neurological disease.
By wearing his art, you are helping transform Luis\u2019s creative legacy into meaningful support for both the artist and a community working toward greater awareness, better care, and ultimately a cure.

THE ARTIST BEHIND THE CHAMPION<\/div>\n \n

Lugufelo\u2019s Story<\/h2>\n \n <\/span>\n\n

Luis Fern\u00e1ndez, known artistically as Lugufelo<\/strong>, is a metal sculptor whose work has transformed stainless steel into powerful expressions of strength, movement, perseverance, and human possibility.
For decades, Luis created monumental sculptures for public spaces, businesses, communities, and private collectors. His work was built not only from metal, but from ideas\u2014each sculpture carrying a story about determination, growth, resilience, and the human experience.
In December 2025, Luis was diagnosed with Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP)<\/strong>, a rare and progressive neurological disease. PSP has significantly affected his vision, movement, and cognitive abilities, making it impossible for him to continue creating sculptures as he once did.
Although Luis can no longer work in his studio, his art, his story, and the meaning behind his work remain very much alive.<\/strong>
One of his most powerful sculptures, Champion<\/strong>, was created to symbolize strength, determination, self-discipline, personal growth, and the people who stand beside us as we work toward our dreams. Today, those same values have taken on a deeply personal meaning.
Every day, Luis faces the challenges of PSP while adapting to a constantly changing reality, surrounded by the love and support of his family and the community that has been touched by his life and his work.
Luis created the Champion. Today, he is the Champion.<\/strong>
Wear the Art. Support the Artist. Help Fight PSP.
Wear the Art<\/strong> was created to transform images of Lugufelo\u2019s original sculptures into apparel, allowing his creativity to continue reaching people even though he can no longer physically create in his studio.
But this campaign is about much more than preserving an artistic legacy.
It is also a call for support.
Living with PSP brings significant and ongoing medical, treatment, therapy, caregiving, and daily-living expenses. As Luis is no longer able to work, funds raised through Wear the Art will help support Luis and his family and help make his increasingly expensive care and treatments more manageable.<\/strong>
At the same time, we want Luis\u2019s journey to help others facing this devastating disease.
50% of the proceeds received by Wear the Art from merchandise sales will be donated to CurePSP<\/strong>, helping support its mission to raise awareness, build community, improve care, and find a cure for PSP, CBD, and MSA.
Your Support Has Two Important Purposes
When you purchase Wear the Art apparel, your purchase helps create two forms of support.
Support Lugufelo<\/strong>
A portion of the campaign proceeds helps support Luis and his family as PSP has affected his ability to continue working and creating sculpture. These funds help with medical treatment, therapies, care, and the growing daily expenses associated with living with PSP.
Support CurePSP<\/strong>
50% of the proceeds received by Wear the Art from merchandise sales will be donated to CurePSP, supporting its mission to raise awareness, build community, improve care, and find a cure for PSP, CBD, and MSA.
Every purchase, every direct donation to CurePSP, and every person who shares Luis\u2019s story helps carry this mission forward.
Wear his art. Carry his story. Support the Champion. Help us fight PSP.<\/strong><\/p>
