ACS Benefit at Zeller Photography

Who are you fighting for?

Alright, I'm not the worlds best blogger.  I mean, it's been a couple of years since I've posted, right?  I am so passionate about this cause that it is worth blogging about.  So, take a look.  It's worth a few minutes of your time!

Saturday, April 6, 10am - 2pm, $30, 15-minutes and the opportunity to change the world around you! 

Many of us have experienced the pain, grief or loss of battling cancer, whether personally or with a loved one.  When my friend Gina asked if I would be willing to help support her involvement in the Relay for Life to support the American Cancer Society, I eagerly agreed.  Gina's passion for this cause is a very personal one. 

Together, we have planned this special photo event celebrating the relationships in our life.  You can even dedicate your photo session to a special someone in your life who has or is currently battling cancer.

You may schedule your 15 minute photo shoot and for only $30 you'll receive a 5x7 and set of wallets of your favorite image.  Plus, if you message me on facebook, I'll tag you with your image. You'll also have the opportunity to purchase more online the week following your session.  80% of all sales go to the ACS, reserving only to cover our direct costs of materials.   

Give me a call at 918-663-0079 to schedule your session time.




Gina's Story

This year, I will again be participating in a fun and exciting community activity — the American Cancer Society Relay For Life. The Relay is a unique way to raise money and awareness for the American Cancer Society. I am sending you this letter in request of your support for my efforts.

When my brother-in-law was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer at age 22, I wanted to help in a real and lasting way.   I decided to participate in Relay For Life, sponsored by several area businesses and the ACS.  Since then, my brother-in-law has passed away and my mother-in-law has been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer.
The Relay For Life is an all-night walk/run event involving teams of 10-12 members who will keep at least one member on the track for a scheduled period of time. The Relay will take place at Glenbard North High School, IL from 6pm-6am. Hundreds of people will be joining in the fight against cancer.

 
Our team’s goal is to raise money for research, educational programs, advocacy and patient services.  Team Extreme has participated in Relay for six years and so far we have donated over $13,000!  We could not have done so without the help of the generous community we live in!  Any help that we receive is appreciated more than I can express.

Thank you in advance for your support!
