“PAC Gives Back” is the charitable division of Photographers Adventure Club. Members from all over the US contribute their time and talents to help their communities. Photographers of all skill levels are able to participate, and we encourage all members to become involved.
PAC’s outreach efforts initially began in Phoenix with our involvement in the Help Portrait Program, founded by Jeremy Cowart. Since then, PAC Charitable activities have grown greatly in variety. Chapters near and far donate photography services, images, fundraising and organization skills, and other talents to help charities large and small.
PAC Gives Back activities and initiatives are in harmony with PAC’s key goals; members Connect with their community, Explore ways to help others, Create new solutions to overcome challenges, and Improve the world around them – all while enjoying their art form!
