SOC: Program Update

Last month I started the Studio Onyx Cares program to give back to charities and non-profit organizations that do so much for others when they are in a time of need. I’ve thought about what I could do to make this program more successful.

On January 5, 2009, I tweeted on Twitter and posted a status update on my Facebook account asking followers to provide a name of a charity or non-profit organization. From these responses I will compile a list and each month will feature one in the SOC program. Just like the current organization, The American Red Cross for Haiti Relief, for any new projects I receive during the month I will donate $10 from the sales and if the client donates $5 I will add another $5 to my donation. Giving $20 to benefit the featured charity or non-profit organization. The donation might be small but every penny counts!

The Choices So Far

• Human Right’s Campaign (HRC)
• Suzan G. Komen for the Cure
• World Wildlife Fund (WFF)
• Juvenile Diabetes Association (JDF)

In the end I would like to feature at least one different charity or non-profit organization a month. That means six more months are open. If there is a charity or non-profit you would like to see contact me via Twitter or Facebook.

At the end of this month I will have complied the full list and figure out which charities or non-profits will be featured for the rest of the year.
