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!

• Mar/Apr – Human Rights Campaign (HRC)
• May/Jun – World Wildlife Fund (WFF)
• Jul/Aug – Juvenile Diabetes Association (JDF)
• Sep/Oct – Suzan G. Komen for the Cure
• Nov/Dec – Rotated

Since there were not enough suggestions, November and December will feature each non-profits/charities. I will rotate each one every week. However, I’m still open for suggestions for one more option. Feel free to contact me.

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.

When I worked for Big Y Foods, Inc. for seven years they had a program called Community Campaign, which let employees of the company to choose a charity of their choice and donate to that charity. Each year I would donate and support a local AIDS foundation. Donating to my local AIDS foundation made me feel good. It wasn’t a lot of money, but it was something and I knew it was going to a great cause.

On January 12, 2010 at 4:53PM a massive earthquake with a magnitude of 7.0 hit the nation of Haiti, causing damage inside and around the capital city of Port-au-Prince. Since that day our President and other countries are working together to rebuild the damage that was caused buy this horrendous event.

There are plenty of ways to donate and I want to help. This is why I’ve started the Studio Onyx Cares program. From now until the end of February I will donate $10 to the American Red Cross from the sales of my newest projects. However, if you donate $5 I will add another $5 to my donation making a total of $20 to benefit Haiti.

This is just the first step of the Studio Onyx Cares program. There is much I want to do that I need to get straightened out first though. Check back at a later date for more information! Together we can all make difference.
