Share The Love of Philanthropy Photos
Giving, Life, Love & Laughter 0 CommentsThe results are in and the winner of the ‘Share Your Love…Of Philanthropy’ is: The Human Soul On Fire, More Than Me Foundation.
But we are in awe of all the photos! The beauty in the eyes of those individuals smiling in the dozens of photos about people could melt hearts of even the most hardened individuals. The power of the messages spoke louder than any force could. Every single one told a story and contributed to the larger montage that shouted why we all give back.
We will be publishing an e-Book of all the photos with the authors’ description and the benefiting organizations shortly. All photo finalists will be published in the e-book as well as a glossy hard-bound coffee table book that will be available for order. In addition to getting a $1,000 donation to their favorite charity, the grand prizewinner will be featured on the cover of the book. The top three vote getters will receive a complimentary copy of the book. If you would like a hard copy of the Finalist photo album that will be mailed to you, please click here and we will take your name and let you know once they have been produced.
In the meantime join our movement to show the world that every person has a story that is worthwhile especially when it heralds volunteers who contribute their time, energy, intellect, money and love to the causes they are most passionate about. Share your photo(s) in our Flickr pool.
