Giving Back

With a heart full of love and a desire to give back, it comes as no surprise that Mark Vacker Photography has been making appearances throughout the community to volunteer time and photography skills to a variety of charitable organizations. From Kids in Distress to the Broward Children’s Center, many charities have plucked at Mark’s heart strings, enabling him to support these wonderful causes with his talent.

             

We recently worked with Studio 18 in Pembroke Pines as they served the special needs community through the medium of art. Jill Slaughter, Curator of Special Projects for the City of Pembroke Pines put together a gallery exhibit of work by local artists, and invited the special needs community to create interpretations of the artwork and to hang their work in the gallery. The Pembroke Pines community and Whole Foods demonstrated their support for the special needs artists and gathered in an effort to raise funds for art supplies for the group.

                                           




















More recently we have photographed a fundraising event for Kids in Distress as they raised money at Abe & Louie’s Steakhouse in Boca Raton to aid in the expansion of their presence into Palm Beach County. Kids in Distress aims at preventing child abuse and aiding children who fall victim to this devastating act.

                                                         

As we look at what we’ve done and where we are going, we are incredibly excited and looking forward to the many events to come. We cannot wait to work with MACtown which serves the special needs community  in Miami, the Center for the Hearing and Communication, the American Lung 
Association, Arts for Learning and more!
