The Give Back is the opportunity to harness the giving power of the over 1,000 professional photographers who attend the premier one week continuing education course at the Texas School of Professional Photography.  Influential photographers from around the globe attend TSPP.

The Give Back is a fishbowl style auction where participants purchase tickets and then drop the ticket into the bowl of the item they want to win.  All items are on display for an entire week at the Texas School Charities booth in the tradeshow.  Donors have the opportunity to have their items seen in person and featured on the app along with links to websites so participants can just make direct purchases from the donor if they don't want to risk not winning the item.

Texas School Charities is a 100% volunteer run group which raises money for educational scholarships for future and current entrepreneurs. Additionally, we provide the manpower (photographers) and funding for Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep (NILMDTS) which gifts remembrance photography (at no fee) to parents whose children do not have a long life expectancy.

Lasy year, this event has raised over 55,000 which has changed many lives as we are a 100% volunteer run group that passes everything directly to scholarship recipients and NILMDTS.

When individual classes reach their class goal, goody bags are given to the classes.  These consist of bottles of alcohol, non-alcoholic beverages, snacks and other donated items.  There are approximately 32 bags which are distributed.

We would appreciate anything that you could contribute to the auction or the celebration goody bags.
