I'm getting creative with helping others. I've decided to focus my energy on raising awareness for the families in need in Hollywood. My Goal is to help renew the city of Los Angeles by raising $25,000 or more by 11/15/15 in support of Help-Portrait. Help-Portrait is a worldwide movement of photographers and volunteers giving free portraits to those in need.  

We are a community of photographers, film makers, make up artists, wardrobe stylists, and many more visual artists. We live in the city known for crafting the most stunning visuals in the world yet so many go underserved by the simple value of being treated to a professional portrait, makeup and hair styling and essentially a day-off. 

That's why I started this fundraiser on Pure Charity. Every penny of this goes to fund projects that provide free photography. Help-Portrait is a worldwide movement of photographers and volunteers giving free portraits to those in need. Take a first-hand look at the special connection Help-Portrait has in giving back to the community in this video: http://bit.ly/19kBFM7. 

Here’s our global progress to-date: 

•  326,858 portraits given 
  
•  62,860 volunteers 
  
•  2,411 events 
  
•  67 countries 
  

This year’s event is December 6, 2014 and is taking place in cities all over the world. You can find more information about Help-Portrait and its outreach at www.helpportrait.com. 

Your gift will help your Help-Portrait Hollywood event provide photos, frames, food, and most importantly hope to those involved.
