All that Glitters is Gold

To all my fellow Photographers:

I have been waiting weeks for this project to get up and running and ready to share.  I'm so excited to share this opportunity with the wonderful photographers in the world!  I even volunteered to be the project coordinator in MN.  

Are you looking for a charitable cause to share your talents with?  If yes, please consider joining The Gold Hope Project.  I had been looking for a project and cause just like this, and feel so blessed to have crossed paths with the wonderful women who made this a reality.

The project has just hit the get up and run stage. This means I'm on a mission to recruit some wonderful and talented photographers in the fine state of MN to get on the list as a go to photographer.  I want to get this in place before reaching out to organizations and offering services.  I want to make sure we can deliver the gift of a lifetime!  

The Gold Hope Project's mission is simple: Raise awareness of Childhood Cancer through photography.  Giving a fighter and their family a memory of fun and beautiful pictures to go along with it is what we are about.

The website describes the project better than I can, so please go check it out.  It takes less than 5 minutes to submit an application.   Application reviews are done on Mondays and the goal is to complete reviews weekly.  The application process may take a little longer right now since there are many people like me across the nation recruiting photographers and sharing this experience.  I know earlier this week there were at minimum 50 applications pending, so it may take a little longer right now.  

As a photographer you are asked to donate a session, provide a minimum of 10 images digitally to the warrior's family and incorporate a gold theme into the session - at least some of the images.  That's about it. Again .... check out the website The Gold Hope Project Website

If your life has been touched by a child fighting an illness and watching a family fight and battle for the biggest gift of ever - life, this project is a great opportunity to give cancer a little punch in the face, by giving the most precious gift - memories!  

Please go check out the website! Fill out the application and let's start clickin' this beast they call cancer!   I look forward to working with all the talented photographers in the great state of MN.  

If you have any questions, please feel free to email me at goldhopemn@yahoo.com  or call me at 651-808-2085 or chat with me on good ol' FB!!  

This cause is personal to me, thank you for considering joining The Gold Hope Project.
