The Austin Models & Talent Agency, along
with members of our online forum community, actively support and participate
in many non-profit fund raising and charity events in and around
the State of Texas. Our goal is to not only provide our time and
resources, but to make an impact toward any individual or
organization that is helping children, animals, or other worthwhile
causes.
If you are a photographer who would like to provide a few hours of
your time on occassion toward doing something that helps out
others, contact
us. If you are a model or an actor and would like to help out,
feel free to contact us as well. Watch the Texas Models & Talent Forum for upcoming events you can take part in.
We have organized and/or participated in a great number of charity events
and fund raising and/or awareness activities (see some of the
organizations listed above). At Christmas 2005, we adopted a family
and helped them financially with things that they were needing -
including furniture and a Christmas tree. One Christmas,
photographer Becky Stienhour and Austin Models & Talent Agency
members collected clothing and food items for a family who lost
everything in a house fire. We sponsored a free group photo shoot one year asking everyone to bring animal food and toys for a local dog rescue organization. In addition to outside charity organizations, we have also helped needy models and
actors by purchasing for them comp cards and headshot printing, as
well as helped to send aspiring actors and actresses to acting
classes with funds raised by donation.
It is our belief that every business should do their part in the community to help out others who are less fortunate. This is part of the foundation of the Austin Models & Talent Agency and is something that we invest great time and effort into. There are already solid efforts going on to bring more money into local talent community pockets, but what about those who are less fortunate? Join us in our efforts.
