I got a message on Facebook this morning about Help-Portrait and their December event coming up in Los Angeles.  If you don’t know about Help-Portrait, the description on their website says it all,

“Help portrait is a movement of photographers, who are using their time, equipment and expertise to give back to those who are less fortunate.”

I have one very simple point…it’s July 19 and seeing their invite reminded me that last year a lot of you said, “I’d really like to get more involved next year!”   Well, now’s the time to put your money (or expertise and time) where your mouth is.

I’ve said it a few dozens times in other blogs – you’re looking for your community to be good to you, so you’ve got to get involved and be good to your community!   There are so many different causes and so many opportunities for you to play a role.  Cause-related marketing is important to building your business and reputation, but giving back, goes much deeper…it makes you feel good!
