 Seattle’s first non-profit organization aimed at brides, grooms and the wedding industry that is dedicated to raise money for great causes!! Now a way to get gorgeous for your wedding by giving back! A foundation set up by ladies who are all involved in the wedding industry somehow, have found a way to give back in a big way. Good friend and fellow photographer, Laurel McConnell along with many other amazing women, have put together this awesome non-profit organization Get Hitched Give hope. As the fundraiser date approaches I wanted to help our pal Laurel get the word out about this selfless organization she's helped get going. The Event: October 23rd at the newly renovated Arctic Club Hotel Their Draw: Get Gorgeous Goods While Giving Back. Top notch vendors and businesses have donated some great items that are useful for your wedding (and most can be used by anyone, so drag your moms and co-workers over too!). There will be drinks, apps, auctions, raffles, and of course, the famed jellybeans, wink wink! Featured Charity: The Making Memories Foundation. They are sort of like a “Make a Wish” for adults, granting wishes to stage 4 breast cancer patients. We want to be able to grant like 12 wishes… which means we’ve got to raise something like 50 grand. We’ve got a great community and wonderful friends and clients, so there’s no reason why we shouldn't be able to!!! We’ve been SO INCREDIBLY FORTUNATE with our wonderful sponsors, so we anticipate that every dollar donated (through auction, raffle, and money raised at the event!) will be going straight to MMF! Bid it up! John and I wouldn't miss it and we've already got our tickets! Join us as we help to support this awesome cause. You're sure to have a great time in a swanky atmosphere all while supporting a great cause. General tickets are just $15!!!
