Noble Charity: 100% Proceeds Donated
At JuliusShulman.org, our commitment to making a positive impact extends beyond the realms of photography. Often asked about our charitable initiatives, we're proud to share a recent donation by Julius Shulman donations that holds profound significance for us. Every penny we earn is dedicated to supporting causes close to our hearts.
Honoring Captain Dave L. Bailey
Beyond professional photography services, our volunteers constantly participate in community welfare programs. The volunteers paid their respects at the church funeral of Captain Dave L. Bailey, a dedicated fireman from the Los Angeles County Fire Department.
A Meaningful Gesture
Recognizing Captain Bailey's dream of visiting Jerusalem, we decided to donate a fire truck to the city, steering clear of political intricacies. This fire truck, named No. 38, is dispatched without bias, responding to emergencies irrespective of race, religion, or national origin.
Family, friends, and representatives from Julius Shulman gathered at Jerusalem's main fire station in Givat Mordechai to dedicate No. 38 to Captain Bailey's legacy. The ceremony, organized in collaboration with The Friends of Israel Firefighters, saw the truck immortalized with his name, ensuring that his spirit lives on in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.
Transforming Tragedy into Goodness
A seasoned firefighter, Captain Bailey's remarkable career included certifications in Urban Search and Rescue, Swift Water Rescue, Homeland Security, and HAZMAT. His extensive service, including deployments to the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and Japan post-earthquake, exemplified his dedication. Tragically, he passed away at 50 while leading wild-land firefighting training.
The decision to donate the fire truck stemmed from the devastating Mount Carmel fire in 2010, the deadliest forest fire in Israel's history. With 44 lives lost and 17,000 people evacuated, our volunteers saw an opportunity to turn tragedy into a positive legacy in Captain Bailey's name.
Although Captain Bailey and his widow, Lisa, had never visited Israel, the choice to donate to Jerusalem held deep meaning for him. Lisa shared, "Jerusalem is a holy city, no matter what religion you practice. This dedication would have made Dave very happy."
In memory of Captain Dave L. Bailey, Julius Shulman remains committed to making a difference, exemplifying the power of compassion and generosity beyond the realm of photography.

Supporting Programs that Make a Difference
We're often asked about our donation destinations, and one organization that holds a special place in our philanthropic endeavors is the "Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation." Through our partnership with the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, we contribute to three impactful programs.
1. Smart Home Program
Tailored to the needs of catastrophically injured service members, our donations assist in creating smart homes equipped with features like automated doors, wheelchair-friendly showers, and adaptable living spaces. These homes empower our heroes to lead more independent lives.
2. Gold Star Family Home Program
Honoring those who made the ultimate sacrifice, this program aims to provide mortgage-free homes to surviving spouses with young children. Our goal is to contribute to the Foundation's mission of providing 1,000 homes to Gold Star Families.
3. Fallen First Responder Home Program
Never forgetting the sacrifices of 9/11 and the ongoing commitments of first responders, our support extends to families who lost their loved ones in the line of duty. The Fallen First Responder Home Program provides a safety net for surviving families during times of tragedy.
A Shared Belief in Supporting Heroes
