Click to Cure 2010

I’d like to announce the third annual Click to Cure photo day to fight cancer. This year we are working to help Bear Necessities Pediatric Cancer Foundation, Inc. Bear Necessities Pediatric is a national organization founded in 1992 and has been actively contributing to children stricken with cancer. President Kathleen A. Casey and her 8-year-old son, Barrett “Bear” Krupa, started Bear Necessities during a long, exhausting str...uggle to defeat this devastating disease. Ultimately, the disease took the life of “Bear”.


Cancer is the #1 disease killer in children under the age of 15.

Bear Necessities is there to provide hope and support through medical research grants, information and support grants and their Small Miracle Program which works to fulfill special wishes to help brighten the life of a child going through cancer.

This year we selected Bear Necessities because so many of my former couples and friends were having babies. Everyone was asking when I was holding Click to Cure and asking if I could wait until the latest member of the family had a chance to arrive. With all the newborn babies, it was the perfect fit. Witnessing all the nerves, joy, excitement and worries that come with a new baby, I can’t even imagine what it must be like for families who have a child with cancer.

I get requests all the time for family and baby portraits and it’s not something I offer. This is the one day all year that I will be pulling out all the stops to spend a day making some great portraits.

Here’s how it works. For a minimum donation of $100.00 (you can always donate more and would love it if you did) I will spend 10-15 minutes doing a portrait session of you, your family, your pets, your friends or even something you want to sell on e-Bay. Just show up. You’ll get a large amount of images in that time; I shoot fast and everything is already set up. All the photos are burned to disc for you to take home. No reservation times needed so show up anytime, but expect a longer wait around 11:00 – 3:00.

Lastly, as in previous years, every single dollar contributed goes to Bear Necessities. The event is fully sponsored so you know 100% of the money is going to a fantastic cause.

So come and help out an important organization and enjoy the start of the holidays with snacks and great conversation.
