HOW IT WORKS
We put our hands together
to do a lot of good
My Hand My Cause captures highly detailed, artistic hand photographs of celebrities. There are notable people from the worlds of Sport, Music, Movies, Art, Medicine, Science and more — people who are leaders in their fields and working to make our world better along the way.
We use these unique photos to raise money by selling high quality, life size prints of each celebrity's hand along with their printed signature and date it was shot. We offer the print in exchange for a $132 donation with the net proceeds going to the charity chosen by, and associated with, that celebrity.
