WHAT: Saturn will return to Houston with Pictures of Hope, a photography project led by an award-winning photojournalist. The project gave children at Star of Hope Mission the opportunity to take photos that reflect their hopes and dreams. The photos are then featured in a set of Pictures of Hope greeting cards. Saturn of Southwest Freeway will host the reveal event where the children, along with their families, will see their photos for the very first time.

Star of Hope is dedicated to meeting the needs of homeless families. It provides programs which focus on spiritual growth, education, employment, life management and recovery from substance abuse. The Pictures of Hope project enables children receiving services from Star of Hope to express their dreams and communicate them through photography, while building their self-esteem.

In July, Saturn and celebrity photojournalist and author Linda Solomon visited the Star of Hope Mission to kick off the Pictures of Hope project. Solomon conducted a photography workshop and taught the children photo composition and photography techniques. The children were then sent on an assignment with a single-use camera to capture photos of their hopes and dreams.

Saturn funded the program which includes providing the finished greeting cards. "Saturn chose to be a part of this program because giving to the local community has always been a key component in the Saturn philosophy," said Saturn Diversity Advertising Manager, Patricia Maldonado.

Saturn of Southwest Freeway and Star of Hope Mission will sell boxes of Pictures of Hope greeting cards with 100 percent of the proceeds benefiting the Star of Hope Mission. "We are proud to be a part of the Pictures of Hope project," said Bob Abernathy, president of Saturn of Southwest Freeway. "We look forward to selling the Pictures of Hope greeting cards on behalf of Star of Hope."
