About My Campaign

In conjunction with the Thanksgiving Dinner at East Peoria High School, we are putting together a portrait opportunity for all families affected by the tornadoes in the Central IL area. We are raising funds to help purchase supplies to provide a FREE 8X10 print of their family. If all funds are raised, we will be able to provide these prints to the families before they leave the Thanksgiving Dinner event, and THIS IS OUR GOAL! Please help make this happen.

Along with the print, the photos will be available electronically for each family so they can make holiday greeting cards or get more prints for themselves and their families. We will provide a way for them to order professional-grade prints, greeting cards, etc., online at cost.

We have contacted area retailers who are willing to provide many of these supplies at substantial discounts, so your donations will stretch very far!

All extra funds will be donated directly to the recovery effort (either the Red Cross or another service provider). This surplus donation will be announced here or on Facebook.

About Jacob

Jacob is a Washington-native and a photographer in Central IL. After seeing the devastation on the day of the Tornado, he knew there was a way to serve the community in many ways, and the volunteer lists for the initial cleanup were filling up fast!

The idea for this stems from HelpPortrait, a similar, annual event that provides portraits to less fortunate individuals all over the world.
