Calendar for a Cause 2012
Hey Y’all! Slowly getting to blogging. It’s been a big adjustment period for me, so thank you for bearing with me! Every year we get requests for sponsored tables, donations for various (wonderful) causes, but this year we decided to narrow down our focus and all of our energies into one cause, that is joining the fight against pediatric cancers and childhood illnesses.
A few years ago, I stumbled upon a blog by Holly McRae, the mother of a beautiful (actually stunning) 5 year old little girl diagnosed with an agressive form of brain cancer. Her words (she’s an amazing gifted writer), grace and faith during her family’s difficult journey touched my heart and I felt an instant connection. As a mama myself, I just can’t even begin to imagine what Holly must be going through. Today, Kate continues to defy the odds as she undergoes chemo treatments and therapies for a second relapse. If you have a moment, I encourage you to read more about her story here.
So when Georgia Watson asked us to create a cake pop dessert table for Tampa Bay’s Calendar for a Cause event, we seriously did not give it a second thought. A culmination of talented photographers and event planners came together to create a 12-month calender filled with children either battling cancer or survivors. All proceeds from the calendar and the gala went directly to the Children’s Cancer Center. It was a great event and all I can say is that I was so incredibly grateful the chance to be a part of it.
Special thanks to Michael Schuhmann for all of the images.
