VFS Makeup Design for Film & Television students and alumni have a history of championing worthy causes. They’ve lent their talents to the Show of Hearts Telethon, and glammed-up military wives on Remembrance Day. Recently, Makeup Design grad Robyn Jenkins made the ultimate sacrifice for charity – taking charge of a shoot for a group of handsome, shirtless firemen.

The Vancouver Fire Fighter’s calendar is legendary, and for the 2011 version Robyn did it all, from the makeup to the design of the calendar itself. “It took a lot of work but the calendar was a huge success,” says Robyn.”The firemen involved did many promotional events selling the calendar, and it raised over $60,000 for charity, including the BC Children’s Hospital and the Burn Fund.”

Well done, Robyn!
