I don’t know if I could be more excited about this announcement. You may not know this but October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and I have decided that over here at Kristy Lynn Photography we are going to take this cause to heart. Starting October 1 we are going to launch a big fundraiser for breast cancer research and education. I have a whole page on my blog dedicated to why I feel this is so important (click here) but it comes down to the need for more research and education to happen so that we can find a cure.
The bulk of our fund-raising efforts are going to be in our boudoir photography but anyone can participate! It may not be a huge contribution, but our goal is to raise $2500!!! Really even as I type that out I have a little heart skipping because it seems like a huge number to me. We can do it, but we are going to need your help! Here is what we have planned:
1. We are going to do a month long boudoir fundraiser that is explained in this flyer:
So get to booking your session. Well wait to October 1st, but get to thinking about booking your session. You can even gift a session to someone, this would be a great way for you men to participate. And if you can not do a session yourself you can definitely share this flyer with people who might want to book a session and/or know someone who might. For more information about the sessions visit my boudoir blog.
2. We are forming Team KLP for the Komen San Francisco Race for the Cure® on September 27, 2009. I have never done one of these and have ALWAYS wanted to. In fact I really hope and plan to do the three day walk next year. This short 5k will just be the warm-up I guess. HAHA.
There are a few ways you can help with the Race for the Cure. You can join Team KLP. We are going to do the untimed 5k walk, so there will be no racing. In fact we are going to bring the stroller along and probably just stroll, so you DO NOT need to be an athlete to join us. You just have to have a heart for the cause. The registration cost is $30 and we ask that you make a goal of $100 for your fund-raising for the walk. You will have to register before September 17 and if you have any questions email me at kristy@kristylynnphotography.com. Another way you can help is that you can gift our team with a support donation. Email me with any questions about that as well.
And finally, if you have made it this far I am incredibly grateful for being able to use my dream of being a photographer for the cause of breast cancer research and education. I am excited to join with other photographers and wedding professionals in the Pink Initative. And I am excited to see what we can do! $2,500 seems like a huge goal but wouldn’t be awesome if we could blow our goal out of the water!!
Blessings,
Kristy Lynn
