Casino Royale Event Benefiting the Hearing Center at Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh | Pittsburgh Family Photographer

This spring I had the honor of volunteering my photography services for another event held by the Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh Foundation.  I have done several events for them now and they are always a pleasure to work with.  It is a strong personal goal and mission of my business to provide service whenever possible to help kids & families in need.

The evening began with a lovely dinner and with speakers, both patients and doctors at the Hearing Center.

The event was called Casino Royale, so following dinner there was a casino night!  Lots of lovely guests. and even a photobomber!

Thanks CHP Foundation for inviting me to this lovely event!

I am always looking for great local causes to support with either event photography services or auction donations.  If you know of a wonderful organization that supports local kids and families, please get in touch.

A Sweet Gesture at Inventionland 2014 | Pittsburgh Photographer | Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh Foundation

I had the pleasure of joining the Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh Foundation for another fabulous event!  This one took place at Inventionland, in Fox Chapel area of Pittsburgh on Valentine’s Day, 2014.  This event was sponsored by Direct Energy and by many other gracious organizations and selfless people who donated their time and energy to coordinate and plan this event.

The live auction was my favorite part, and this auctioneer was very persuasive!  Funds raised went to the Family Life Auxiliary at Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh.

Then there was a lovely presentation by event organizers, including some speeches by Children’s Hospital patients, describing their experiences.  These were the highlight of the event, with many audience members becoming emotional hearing about these young women’s struggles and their experiences going through treatment.
