NoBS Raises $4,700 in Dec 07 for Sleeping Children
21st Jan 2008
The members of NoBS Photo Success (based in the USA), which provides online digital photography resources, nearly doubled their donations this year for Sleeping Children Around the World (SCAW).
In December 2006, members of this photography forum site managed to raise more than $4,700, which was enough to purchase over 150 bed kits.
The inspiration for this fundraiser was NoBS Photo Success cofounder James Hodgins. Looking for a way to give back and show gratitude for his success, Mr. Hodgins rallied other members of the digital photography resources site to contribute towards helping those less fortunate. They chose SCAW, according to Mr. Hodgins, because he knew that NoBS Photo Success members wanted 100 percent of their donations going directly to needy children. Sleeping Children Around the World guarantees that all donations go directly to buying the bed kits, which are produced in the respective countries receiving the donations.
The NoBS website is also a great resource for anyone serious about photography, with tutorials, lighting tips and much more all being available online.You can even signup to a Newsletter to make sure you are kept up to date.
Well worth a visit I think!
