Short Summary

Commercial Photographer Brandon Cawood, known for the series "Not All Wear Capes", is now releasing his next photography project titled “When I Grow Up.” The project will feature fifth grade students portraying themselves in their future careers “when they grow up.” The series will be put into an 18-month calendar (Jan 2016-June 2017) and sold as a fundraiser. There will be 1000-2000 calendars printed in the first run of the calendars. If there is a larger demand more will be printed. The money raised from this project will go to the City of Refuge Dalton youth program. Your contribution will help City of Refuge invest specifically in the futures of these youth which will in turn be an investment in our community. 

The inspiration behind the “When I Grow Up” project was activated by Malisa Cawood’s 5th grade students. All 5th grade students have to complete a career project in which they research a career of their choice and present information to their peers. As an extra credit component of the project, students could interview a professional in their career of choice. A couple of students who want to be photographers asked if they could interview local photographer Brandon Cawood. Brandon came to speak to the class and explain all aspects of his job as a photographer. The whole class was amazed by his photos and in response they asked Brandon to take “cool” pictures of the class. This sparked the idea for “When I Grow Up.” Since they are the inspiration, it seems only fitting that they be the models for the project! 

What We Need & What You Get

Break it down for folks in more detail:

  • The main purpose of this crowd funding endeavor is to aid the front end cost of printing the calendars and promoting the project. Any money left over will go directly into the City Of Refuge youth fund.
  • We are offering some very unique and limited perks. 
  • Even if we don't reach our full goal, your contribution will still be used for the same purpose. If we do reach out goal, all the profits from the calendar sales will be able to go directly towards the City Of Refuge youth program.

The Impact

City of Refuge is committed to affecting real change in the lives of those living in the margins of society by addressing the emotional, educa- tional, and physical needs of the disadvantaged in Whitfield County regardless of race, ethnicity, age, gender, or disability.

We are committed to deploying men, women, youth, and resources into environments where difficulty resides, bringing hope to those who live there. The promise of a better life, along with the tools to build that life, is the passion of City of Refuge. Together with your support we can make a difference in our youth’s life and future.

The City of Refuge mission is to provide “a hand up, not a hand out”. The outreach services provided for indigent families in our community exist to provide a support system to help them overcome the impoverished conditions in which they reside.

For our youth, the most practical solution to this is educational and career training. Funds raised via this project will provide the resources City of Refuge needs to begin investing specifically in our youth’s future, which will in turn be an investment in our community. Funds will help provide an individual tutoring program to insure our students are within their current grade level status, along with a College and Career Fund for the City of Refuge’s at risk youth. Your financial investment will provide educational and career training expenses such as college application fees, college admissions testing fees, college tours, vocational school tours, and college scholarships. 

Risks & Challenges

Our biggest hurdle in this project is getting the word out and fundraising on the front end before the release of the series. We have no doubt that it will get it's fair share of exposure once the series comes out, but to reach that point we really need to raise as much support and awareness beforehand. That's where you come in:

  • You're contribution will allow us to focus our efforts on making sure the series and calendar are up to par with our standards of excellence. We want this series to be presented in a way that really shows the hard work and dedication that was put into it's creation!
  • Your contribution helps aid in a very vital step of this whole project! You will forever be an important piece of this amazing project!!

Other Ways You Can Help

We are still looking for larger sponsors! We have multiple areas inside the calendar with spots for logos, full page ads, half page ads, and cover ads. If you are interested in larger sponsorship opportunities please contact Brandon at brandon@brandoncawood.com. **Spaces are limited**

  • Even if you can't contribute any money, you can help us out in a MAJOR way by spreading the word! Share our Indiegogo page on all your social media outlets as well as good old fashion word of mouth!!
  • Indiegogo has great share tools so be sure to check those out!
