The Fire Relief Fund: My Red Cross Film Tour at a Glance
So I went on tour with my film not too long ago, hoping to sell a lot of DVDs while raising awareness for disaster relief and building an audience for future work. Adjustments had to be made along the way and this initiative raised more than $100 for the American Red Cross. The experience taught me some things about fundraising, charities, people and communities. Here is an overview of what went down to provide blankets, a hotel night stay, groceries, toiletries and/or other immediate needs for a handful of people who are displaced by home fires that claimed everything they owned.
That's all I have for today. How is YOUR Tuesday going so far?

I was highly impressed with your dedication to doing this. Although you sold a DVD here or there, the people who the Red Cross help are the biggest benefactors for the excellent effort you gave :-)
That's a great cause. In our little neck of the woods, there is usually an outpouring of support when someone had a house fire.
So far so good today! Been in one meeting and now working on a new course.
Can't complain!

Pretty Awesome!
Losing everything in a disaster is so traumatic. My parents had that happen to them, and I don't think they ever recovered from the experience. It changed their lives. Good for you creating this kind of awareness.
Great infographic!
