Giving Back 2010
Girlfriends Films Announces 2010 Charity Recipients
'Tis the season of giving, and in that spirit Girlfriends Films has completed its annual charitable gifting program. As in the past, the company has various models choose a non-profit organization that receives $1,000 donation in that model's name. The only requirement is that the charity has a "B+" rating or better by the American Institute of Philanthropy (http://www.charitywatch.org/toprated.html). We hope our actions will inspire other companies to look beyond the profit margin, see the wider world around us, and know that we have the ability to create positive change.

"Not only do they help to protect the common household pet but they are front line when it comes to farming animals and our little ocean friends."

Today's kids will be running this country before you know it, and this outfit has a number of great programs for helping them reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens.
