A time to give.


Recommended Posts

Alright, I think I'm going to try doing this every December going forward.

 

For the month of December, starting on 12/11, I will be available for work. Any income I earn will be donated to St. Judes Children's Hospital. So, if you need a mixer, boom op, etc. then please give me a hollar and make the check payable to St. Judes. My contact info is listed in my profile. I figure this is one way for me to give back.

 

Thanks,

 

Michael

That'a great idea! Very commendable. I hope you are not actually asking production companies to directly make out checks to the hospital, right? That would be bad. It should go to you, then on to the hospital

Jesse and Constantin,

 

Yes, I realize it will be a tax deductible donation for the production company and not for myself. But, this isn't about me. If by "giving" the production company an incentive then maybe they'll be more inclined to find a reason to pick me up for an extra day or two during the month, in which case the kids/families at the hospital will ultimately benefit from. So you see, everyone wins if the check is made out directly to the hospital.

Ok great, then! If you are happy with it, that's enough. Just wanted to make sure, and didn't want to side-track from your brilliant selfless idea!

That is a very cool idea and a really selfless act. I wish I could sacrifice a gig to give. I do already donate to St. Judes in my own small way when I can (Through donations at Publix and I think at participating CVS. We also send money at the end of the year.). However, I have 2 little babies (3 and 8 months), 2 dogs and a cat at home that my wife and have to keep fed   :).  I also, don't write off these donations all the time. Mostly because I don't think it's always about financial gain in a donation. It's about the help you can give to those in need.

 

That deserves an atta boy Mike!!!
