It wasn't too long ago when a lovely CreComm friend of mine Emily, asked me to do some photos for what she called a 'small event'. She was hosting an afternoon tea fundraiser to raise awareness for adult eating disorders.
"Oh- for sure!"was my response. Who wouldn't want to help out a friend, take some photos, and have a lovely cup of tea (maybe even a cucumber sandwich?).
This little event turned out to be a bit bigger than I expected- with 300 guests in attendance and the venue a grand ballroom in the Fort Garry Hotel. There was a buz in the air as people chatted over a cup of specially made tea, and heard stories of how the Health Sciences Centre helps those wanting to overcome eating disorders.
Not only was it an amazing event to attend, but there was such beautiful attention to the detail woven throughout the afternoon.
In the end Emily raised over $33,000 for the Health Sciences Centre Adult Eating Disorder program.
All I can say to that is "OHHH SHOOT! Well done girl!"
And that I can't wait for next years event.
