A Wonderful Opportunity

Posted by Gabe on November 3, 2009 under Kids are Heroes | 6 Comments to Read

I was recently approached by my friend Mary Kate McKenna about doing a fund raiser for Kids Are Heroes.  Since we need financial help to do all the things we have planned, this piqued my interest.  Fund raisers can be hard, especially in this economy, as it usually involves the simple act of parting ways with hard-earned cash.  But what if you could get something extremely valuable in return?  That’s where Mary Kate comes in.

On Saturday, November 14 and Sunday, November 15, Baker Park in Frederick, MD will be the site where you can get phenomenal holiday pictures taken and help out a great cause at the same time.  Sign up for a slot for only $40.00 and you will get 15 minutes worth of Mary Kate’s artistry along with two high resolution photos.  These can be used for holiday greeting cards, family albums, mantle displays or whatever other purpose you might have.  Bring your (well-behaved) pet(s) too and have them join in the fun.  If you would like all the photos, a disk can be purchased for an additional $30.00.  If you are familiar with Mary Kate’s work, then you will know how great a price that is — this kind of opportunity is rarely available.   (Her work speaks for itself.  See her Web site here and see more family pictures, including the ones she took of our heroes here.)  And the best part of it is that half the proceeds will go to Kids Are Heroes!  (To see why it is important to support Kids Are Heroes, please visit our donations page.)

So bring your friends, family, neighbors and pets down to Baker Park for a really fun time just in time for the holidays.

When: Saturday, November 14th – 15-minute time slots are between 10AM and 4PM.
              Sunday, November 15th – 15-minute time slots are between 10AM and 1PM.

Where: The Gazebo at Baker Park in Frederick, Maryland
