I might be behind on uploading photos from my holiday shoots and the firsts of 2009, but it was even more important for me to share my participation in an upcoming charity event.
Cornerstone of Hope is a comprehensive grief center offering both individual counseling and group support in a home like environment. They also offer educational programs and trainings to professionals and volunteers.
Each year, this organization hosts a benefit gala to help raise awareness to their cause and ultimately help to those who need it most, the grieving. When this opportunity posed itself to me, it was very important to get involved as I experienced the greatest of losses this past year with the death of my father.
I have donated a portrait session in hopes that the money raised will go towards support and tools for the grieving. I am so grateful to have family and friends surrounding me to help me thru this life change. For those that do not have this kind of support or need additional guidance on how to survive after the loss of a loved one - Cornerstone of Hope is there to help.
If you are looking for something to do this Valentine's Day, consider attending this benefit gala. For more information, visit the gala page of Cornerstone's website and thank you.
