Hey All!
I’m very happy to have joined with The Motherhood and the Johnson & Johnson Donate a Photo team to share with you information about a really wonderful program just in time for back-to-school called āSelfless Selfies.ā
The program allows you to turn āselfieā photos (aka pictures you take of yourself) into a way to do good using the Donate a Photo mobile app. For every photo shared on the app, Johnson & Johnson will make a donation to an amazing cause. How awesome is that? You only have to take pictures to make a difference. It’s so simple any one can do it! People often complain they don’t have the money to be charitable or they can’t afford to donate, well this is absolutely no cost to you. You simply have to download an app and take some pictures to donate. All donations are measured in actions, from standing up to bullying to helping students become leaders to protecting children as they walk to school.
Again donating is simple: Just download the free Donate a Photo app and register to get started, then choose a cause, upload a selfie and share it on Facebook,Twitter, and Instagram to let friends know how they can help too! You can share one photo a day, every day, to contribute to the causes that matter most to you. It actually sends you a little alert to remind you to donate.
For every photo shared through Donate a Photo, Johnson & Johnson will donate one dollar to one of its non-profit partners, which each consumer chooses from a rotating list. When a cause reaches its goal, another takes its place; the causes that have reached their goal stay in the app, so users can continue to learn more about the organizations and see the photos that helped support them. This is such a great and unique way to donate!
On July 28th, the Donate a Photo campaign added three non-profit partners to its rotating list of causes:
PFLAG: One photo helps protect a child from bullying
Girl Up: One photo helps a girl in Liberia go back to school
Safe Kids: One photo helps a child in Mexico get to school safely
Here is a little more about these causes:
PFLAG: All funds donated through the DAP PFLAG cause go to provide materials (brochures, flyers etc.) for anti-bullying sessions. These sessions reach students, teachers and school leaders with messages about cultivating respect and keeping schools safe for all.
Girl Up: All funds donated through the DAP Girl Up cause help provide outreach efforts to girls, parents and community leaders, provide literacy, numeracy and livelihood training to out of school girls, and helps establish local PTAs to champion girlsā education in Liberia. These efforts help girls return to and stay in school, often after years of absence.
Safe Kids: The Safe Kids Safe Roads initiative aims to teach children and parents about bike helmet and car seat safety. The program achieves these goals both through in-school sessions, as well as through awareness efforts via online promotions and social media.
The app was developed for both iOS and Android platforms so if you have a smart phone you can most likely download this app and make a difference. You can visit donateaphoto.com to learn more.
While all selfie donations must be made through the app on a mobile device, the experience (including a photo gallery, progress achieved for each non-profit partner, etc.) is accessible to anyone, on any device, from mobile phones to tablets to desktop computers. So get snapping! If you’re like me and you take a million photos already, why not let your photos do something good for someone in need.
Also to encourage consumers like you to live well while doing good, Johnson & Johnson introduced The HEALTHY ESSENTIALSā¢ coupon program which allows families to stock up on the products they depend on and use every day.
