PentaxForums Donates $1200 to Hurricane Relief
Large donation raised by forum members
By PF Staff in Giveaways and Events on Oct 2, 2017
When we first announced our hurricane fundraiser at the beginning of September, Hurricane Harvey had ravaged parts of Texas, causing damage on a historical scale. Later in September, two more record-breaking hurricanes displaced even more victims in Puerto Rico and Florida.
We are happy to announce that through Pentax eBook and T-shirt sales during the month of September, we are able to raise $1200 to aid hurricane relief. We have now donated this amount to charity, with half going to the Rebuild Texas Foundation for Harvey victims, and the other half for the American Red Cross for relief in Puerto Rico and Florida.
We plan to continue the giving, with 50% of eBook proceeds during the month of October going to those victims who need the most aid. You can support the cause by ordering a Pentax eBook, or, if you've already done so, consider donating directly through the PayPal Giving Fund, which lets you support the organization of your choice with just 2 easy clicks.
Big thanks go out for everyone's generosity in this time of need. Your donations will make a big difference in communities affected by the recent disasters!
Pentax Forums Hurricane Fundraiser
Proceeds from Pentax eBooks, PF T-shirts to be donated to charity
By PF Staff in Giveaways and Events on Sep 2, 2017
Last week, the US state of Texas started suffering flooding of historic proportions aftering being hit by heavy rains and winds caused by Hurricane Harvey. Thousands of people are stranded outside their homes while the total cost of damages is estimated to be in the tens of billions of dollars. Worst of all, homeowners without flood insurance are otherwise left without assistance toward repairs.
In partnership with author Yvon Bourque, we'd therefore like to help those in need by donating 100% of proceeds from Pentax eBook sales to charity during the entire month of September. We will also contribute a portion of stanard forum donations and T-shirt sales.
The proceeds will be donated to the Rebuild Texas Fund, an organization endorsed by the Texas governor seeking to provide long-term assistance to rebuild damaged communities in Texas. We'll announce the size of the donation at the end of the month.
Update: in light of the recent distasters, we will also donate to relief efforts in Florida and Puerto Rico.
