Community
Pro Photo Supply’s mission is to assist our community in pursuit of the art, the craft, the profession and the joy of photography.
Pro Photo Supply strives to provide the products and the expertise to enable each individual to reach their photographic potential: those who record family memories; those who pursue personal expression; those intent in developing their craftsmanship; those who earn a living by creating visual imagery; those who utilize visual technology to enact social change and those who employ photographic imagery to communicate the interconnectedness of our global community.
The world is our community at Pro Photo Supply
for a complete list of organizations we've supported.

Pro Photo Supply is proud to be a sponsor of The Children’s Cancer Association’s Wall of Courage. When seriously ill kids and their families need more than medicine, CCA is there with compassion and innovation creating moments of respite and hope, in the hospital and at home. Managed by a professional staff and powered by volunteers, CCA brings soothing music in a time of crisis, friendship in a time of loneliness, resources in a time of turmoil and vital support in the midst of life-threatening illness. Joni Kabana has teamed with CCA to photograph the children for CCA’s Hero Kids wall and portraits that are unveiled at the annual Celebration of Courage Family Festival. Pro Photo Supply is honored to donate the printing of the portraits of these heroic children both for the Wall of Courage as well as providing individual prints for the families.

"Founded in 1974, Oregon Wild works to protect and restore Oregon’s wildlands, wildlife and waters as an enduring legacy for all Oregonians.
Oregon Wild (formerly the Oregon Natural Resources Council or ONRC) has been instrumental in securing permanent legislative protection for some of Oregon’s most precious landscapes, including nearly 1.7 million acres of Wilderness, 95,000 acres of forests in Bull Run/Little Sandy watersheds (to safeguard the quality of Portland's water supply) and almost 1,800 miles of Wild and Scenic Rivers. As a leader of the national grassroots charge for conservation of roadless areas in our national forests, Oregon Wild helped secure administrative protections for more than 58 million acres of spectacular roadless areas across the country."
