Let’s give back: The 25/25 promotion

In a down economy, one of the first things people cut out is their donations to charitable organizations. There are many that are hurting, and one local charity here in the Portland area that really needs continued community support is Big Brothers Big Sisters Columbia Northwest.

Here’s what they do: “Big Brothers Big Sisters helps children reach their potential through professionally-supported, one-to-one relationships with mentors that have a measurable impact. Founded in 2002, Big Brothers Big Sisters Columbia Northwest has become the largest one-to-one mentoring program in Oregon, the largest Big Brothers Big Sisters agency on the west coast and the ninth largest nationwide.”

They serve kids in seven local counties, including southwest Washington, and the children helped by their organization are more likely to get better grades, maintain healthy relationships and avoid drugs and alcohol. It’s a really important cause, and these people are doing great work.

So here’s the deal: for the month of June, I’m going to be doing a special promotion that will benefit Big Brothers Big Sisters Columbia Northwest. We’re calling it the “25/25″ promotion and it works like this: You call or e-mail to schedule a family portrait session during the month of June – a perfect Father’s Day gift, by the way! – and you mention Big Brothers Big Sisters. You’ll get 25% off your package as part of the promotion. Depending on the package you purchase, that’s between $100 and $250 off!

The second part is that at the end of the promotion, 25% of the profits will be donated directly back to Big Brothers Big Sisters Columbia Northwest. You win, they win. It’s that simple.
