In it's second annual event, the 2009 Hope Calendar project proudly donated $5,000 to its beneficiary, Montgomery County Women's Center last week.
Two years ago, Debi Gomez of Life�s Images Photography created a fundraiser for local family charities using her skill photographing children. With the support of local businesses, she photographed local kids aged newborn to nine years (all volunteers) and created a calendar, which was sold to benefit the charity.
�I wanted to create an annual event that would inspire hope and that the community could participate in to support organizations focused on the family,� Gomez said. �The Hope Calendar blends an innate love for children with the desire to do charitable work in a really fun way and has gathered an outpouring of support. I am excited to have such a great response to the project.�
Local organizations underwrote the calendar production, allowing 100 percent of the proceeds to be donated to this year�s recipient. Orders for the calendar were taken from October 2008 through February 2009, giving participants a good feeling about starting off the New Year.
�I plan for the calendar to be an annual fundraiser that inspires families in the greater Houston area to support family-oriented charities each year,� Gomez said. �With good fortune, we've been able to utilize something as simple as a calendar to make a big difference in our community.�
