2015 Benefit Calendar for LA LGBT Center
Donation protected
My name is Austin Wondolowski; I'm a photographer and graphic designer. For the past 2 years I've produced calendars. 2013 was "The Men of Los Angeles" (which promoted events put on by Shawn Morales Presents) and 2014 was "The Men of San Francisco" (which was featured by NewNowNext as one of the 12 Sexiest Calendars for 2014). Both of them were successful in their own right. Having said that, I've learned a lot while producing these calendars:now I'd like to take this concept to a new place and use my newfound knowledge to really help others...
So, here's the pitch:
I'm producing a 2015 calendar that once again revisits the men of Los Angeles. However this time, I the project will be a benefit for the LA Gay and Lesbian Center.
I want 100% of money raised through the sale of these calendars to benefit the LA Gay & Lesbian Center. In order for that to be a reality, we need to raise the capital necessary to produce the calendars.
The super hot Colby Melvin, Mario Diaz, James Cerne, Dan Lovell, Dominick Munafo, Jesse Jordan, Karamo Brown, Ross Milam, Mike Munich, David Pevsner, Andrew Blake Ames and Brad Townsend have offered their talents and will grace the pages of the calendar.*
Three LA-based firms (Slamenskraam, Horse of Arabia and Colby Melvin) are also graciously donating their wearable art to style the models.
I've provided the production capital myself for the past two years, but this year...I need your help in order to make this calendar a reality.
Of course all of my time organizing, photographing, performing design and layout, getting the calendars printed and planning the release event are all being done pro-bono, as is all of the time the models, makeup artists, assistants and clothing designers are graciously providing. The goal is to sell enough of these calendars to raise $20,000 for the center. I think that goal can absolutely be achieved...but we need your financial assistance. We'll take care of the sweat equity :)
Here's a breakdown as to how the fundraising dollars will be used:
$400 - Funding fees
$1000 - Studio Space/Shooting Supplies
$2600 - Printing fees
Any unused funds will be given to the LA Gay & Lesbian Center.
So, the time has come. Please, please show your support for this project, which in turn supports the beacon for the LGBT community in the greater Los Angeles area.
From me and everyone involved, thank you for your time and consideration.
With a hopeful heart,
Austin Wondo
