Fundraising For Haiyan Relief in the Philippines – Head Shot Day

November 22th, 2013 was a very special day for  fundraising for Haiyan Relief in the Philippines. The event was held by The Motionaries and supported by CityEvents social media divison: CitySocial at Haworth, a modern office furniture store. The aim of the event was to raise funds by offering a professional headshot at only $50. All proceeds were donated to World Vision in their initiatives to provide emergency relief to children and families affected by the calamity.

Haworth was the perfect venue for that event, with their modern furniture and a cozy atmosphere right downtown. The guests could relax on the comfortable sofas in the waiting area and enjoyed refreshments before their photo shot. More than 80 guests came to give their support and get their professional head shot. People were happy to have the chance to update and take a new head shot by the corporate photographer Donna Santos and felt it was a win win.

The fundraising was a true success as the Motionaries and supporters raised $4443.16, plus $300 in pledges to World Vision which the government has matched resulting in total of $9486 raised.
