Probably the most memorable photo booth event..... yet

Any time we are asked to help participate in a fundraiser benefiting children it is an easy decision. In this case, we were asked to participate in the Anything for A Friend fundraiser benefiting Brandon Winger. Brandon is an energetic 13 year old boy with a very rare and aggressive form of cancer.

The event was extremely well organized and it didn't take very long to realize that an entire community was coming together to support Brandon. There were easily a hundred volunteers and about two thousand participants. The photo booth was located in a small room off to side of the main hall where many of the activities were taking place.

Brandon entered the photo booth room followed by a 20 person entourage of mostly girls. Brandon has one of those smiles you can't forget. Everyone was clamoring to get in the photo booth with Brandon. As I downloaded the photos that night, I noticed a common theme in the photo booth: kissing Brandon!



 
At the end of the event, everyone gathered outside for giant balloon launch. The sense of love and support was amazing. Over $40,000 was raised on Saturday night. The best thing about Anything for a friend, is that 100% of the proceeds raised go toward the person going through the difficult trial.
