Customers upload their personal photos to Canvas on Demand’s website, and then the company’s team professionally transfers the images to high-quality textured artist canvases wrapped around sturdy 1.5-inch frames. Because the wrapped-canvas technique applies color to canvases’ edges, finished pieces don’t need to be mounted within additional frames. Completed canvases usually arrive one to three weeks after order placement. This Groupon includes the cost of shipping and handling.

Customers living in Connecticut, California, North Carolina, Nevada, Kentucky, and Washington will pay an additional fee for sales tax.

Customers choose from over 30 classes, which meet at the SnapShotSandy studio or Issaquah Salmon Hatchery Watershed Science Center. At both locations, Sandy centers his lessons around the art of admired photography. Students work with their own digital cameras to apply the principles behind stopping action, framing, focusing, and lighting in basic classes. Sandy uses simple explanations to show them how to optimize shots on automatic settings or with a manually set aperture value, then sends students out to take a list of photos that demonstrate the techniques. During basic and advanced sessions, students take photos and then review them with Sandy, absorbing tips on shutter speed and focus that would help to improve their images. When combined, the two classes comprehensively cover both theoretical and technical ends of photography. Click here for a class schedule.

Classes are valid for anyone with a digital camera, but are recommended for students who have cameras that have creative modes such as an aperture control mode and shutter speed priority.

Groupon: The Issue: Number of Youth Experiencing Homelessness

The Tacoma News Tribune reported that the number of Washington students experiencing homelessness in 2010–2011 had risen nearly 20% from the previous year and more than 50% over a five-year span. Youth who are homeless are at a greater risk for drug dependency, physical and sexual assault, and participation in gangs or crimes of desperation. However, many of these youth are distrustful of adults and authority, which keeps them from seeking assistance. Providing opportunities for youth to escape their problems for a night can help them relax and learn from role models.

The Campaign: Sending At-Risk Youth to Overnight Camp

All donations to this Grassroots campaign will be used by Cocoon House to give teenagers experiencing homelessness a summer-camp experience. For every $400 raised, Cocoon House can send 10 at-risk youth to an overnight summer camp. The camp includes recreational activities such as a rock climbing as well as healthful meals each day.

For seven consecutive years, this summer activities camp has helped to build trust among teenagers who are homeless, their peers, and the Cocoon House staff. By allowing the teens to be themselves and have fun instead of worrying about where they'll sleep or how they'll eat, the camp presents opportunities for service referral, counseling, and connecting youth with case managers or advocates who can guide them toward self-sufficiency.

The Scouting Report

For Seattle Sounders FC’s head coach Sigi Schmidt, the expectations are always high—but that’s just because it seems as though he never fails to deliver. A two-time MLS Coach of the Year, Sigi has packed more success into the Sounders’ first four years than some sports franchises experience in their entire history. These accomplishments include reaching the postseason four times in a row—a feat achieved by only one other MLS expansion team—and becoming the first team in 42 years to win three consecutive U.S. Open Cup Championships. This year, Sigi helms another squad of title contenders, led by top scorer Eddie Johnson, a three-time MLS All-Star with U.S. National Team experience who has already netted eight goals in 2013 after setting a club record with 14 in 2012.

Seattle Sounders FC

Expansion teams often experience growing pains, spinning their wheels before building the talent and fan support needed to claw their way out of their league’s basement. Apparently, no one shared this narrative with the Seattle Sounders. Upon entering the MLS in 2009, the Sounders wasted no time establishing themselves as one of the League’s most dominant programs, reaching the playoffs four years in a row and seizing three straight U.S. Open Cups, all without hiring aliens to steal Pele’s life force. The Sounders have also accomplished the impressive feat of selling out every single home game at CenturyLink Field since the team’s inception.

CenturyLink Field

Consistently breaking records for soccer attendance, CenturyLink Field boasts one of the nation's premier pitches. Originally designed to hold intimate soccer crowds capped at around 30,000 seats, the club has answered the demand of the city's ravening fans by opening more and more of the stadium. Most recently the field hosted a record-breaking 66,452 attendees at a game against Portland. Art installations decorating the stadium range from 24-foot steel discs rising up the North Tower to the primordial landscapes of James Lavadour's Standing Among Ghosts, which takes its name from a speech by Chief Seattle about how incredibly haunted the city is.
