Saturn sponsored Pictures of Hope, a photography project led by an award-winning photojournalist that gave children in transitional living programs the opportunity to take photos that reflect their hopes and dreams. Those photos were then featured in a set of greeting cards. In October, a number of Saturn retailers across the country hosted reveal events where the children, along with their families, saw their photos for the first time.

During the summer, Saturn and celebrity photojournalist and author, Linda Solomon visited six transitional housing organizations that provide support services to women and children who have experienced dire circumstances that have impacted their living situations. Solomon conducted photography workshops at each location. The children were then sent on an assignment with a single-use camera to capture photos of their hopes and dreams. Each child had one photo featured on a Pictures of Hope greeting card.
