Seemingly enough I think everyone reading this has known, or knows someone in their life who has suffered from cancer. Last year alone, there were 25,000 folks in Kansas City who were diagnosed with cancer. To help raise money in the fight against cancer, the LIVESTRONG Army of Kansas City, an organization inspired by the Lance Armstrong Foundation is hosting the 2nd Annual Tour de BBQ. In July of this year, Tour de BBQ lead photographer Jason Atherton asked if I’d be interested in volunteering my time to assist in photographing the event. I find it personally rewarding to volunteer my talent to help raise money for such a great cause.
Tonight I met over dinner with KC photographers Jason, Dale Foshe and Jeni Friend at Kona Grill to iron out all of the details. The entire day looks like it’s going to be a blast and I’m really looking forward to it.
With an expected 1500 cyclists this year, the 15, 30 and 60 mile routes stop at some of KC’s top BBQ joints, including Smoke Stack, Hayward’s, Jack Stack, Gates and Oklahoma Joe’s. Afterwards, Gen X 99.7 FM kicks off the entertainment at KC Power and Light with food, beverages and a live concert which is free and open to the public. Don’t let the fall slip away, grab a light coat and come out to support a great cause.
Look for updates this fall!
Speaking of fall, I’ve still got some availability if you’re looking for a wedding photographer or to have your senior pictures taken ahead of the spring rush. Also as a reminder to the seniors of class 2011, my referral program will earn you a quick $50 cash. Contact me for information or to see if your date is still available.
