With our 2010 event beginning to take shape, we wanted to look back at 2009 one more time. Here are some of the great images of the evening from photographer Jeff LaPlante! Look for some big announcements about this year coming soon, and follow our Facebook page to see even more photos.
Get Hitched, Give Hope
Be a giver… you know you wanna!

Instead of spending 20 bones on cupcakes for silly self-enjoyment and an irrelevant-to-real-life Cupcake Thursday shoot/post, Lily and I decided to do something a bit more worthwhile and meaningful.
We’re going to donate it to the “We Heart Sharlane” fund instead. How about you, do you have $20 to spare? Let me make it REAL easy for you: http://weheartsharlane.showitsite.com
Sharlane Chase has been a non-stop super generous supporter of Get Hitched Give Hope – since the beginning of time. Our hearts burst with love for this lady! (and her cute little Anna-Bean)
If you haven’t already heard – we are holding an auction in her honor to raise money to help pay for the medical bills. (darn those health care costs) So – grab those pens (checkbooks too!) mark your calendar and meet us at the Herban Feast Sodo Park venue on February 4th and buy some art!! There will actually be a TON of things for sale, art, jewelry, services, products, lunch, dinner, drinks – EVERYTHING.
Visit the website for more info – but here is the information to post and re-post, email, print and SHARE with everyone you know! =)
Thank you for your love and support of our good buddy!
WE HEART SHARLANE
What: A Fundraising Auction
Where: Herban Feast @ Sodo Park | 3200 1st Avenue South, Seattle, WA. 98134
When: Thursday Feb 4th 2010 | 7-10pm
Who: EVERYONE! Please forward this email on to family, friends, brides to be or anyone that you think would be interested in supporting this amazing cause!
Sharlane is a Mother, a photographer, and our friend. This year began like a fairy tale; complete with a magical proposal from the man she loves. Like too many fairy tales, this one turned dark as Sharlane was diagnosed with Cancer even before the wedding planning could begin. The diagnosis itself is scary enough, but so are the crushing costs associated. This is our attempt to help our friend, who has helped so many others herself.
The benefit we are throwing is all about love, life, laughter and Art. We are so excited about the donated items, and know that even if you don’t know Sharlane you can find something amazing to spend your money on for a Valentine’s Day gift. In addition to buying something über cool and impressing your friends, you will also receive that warm fuzzy feeling from helping an amazing person.
You can help Sharlene in four (4) easy ways:
· Donate money (it’s PayPal — too easy!): http://weheartsharlane.showitsite.com/#/help/
· Donate an item (great way to gain exposure and showcase your work for an amazing cause): helpsharlane@gmail.com
· Bid on a silent auction item on Feb 4th (Check out the list of amazing goods): http://weheartsharlane.showitsite.com/#/what-to-expect/
· Spread the word! Please pass this invitation along on facebook, twitter and email!
Thanks for the support! Any questions, call Ashley 206-353-2992 or email at helpsharlane@gmail.com
Cheers,
We here at Get Hitched Give Hope love our people – Jason Parker is one of our favorite people. Also a wonderful musician and has been a generous supporter to GHGH over the past couple of years. He sent out this email newsletter tonight & I wanted to re-post and share it with you.
I hope it finds you safely,
The Ladies of GHGH

Greetings,
As you know, there is severe devastation in Haiti right now in the aftermath of the 7.0 earthquake that hit the island. This is a tragedy not only for the people in Haiti but also for those around the world that have family and friends there. One of our own is just such a person.
David, my good friend and the owner of Lucid Jazz Lounge in Seattle, has family in Haiti. He is leaving tomorrow to go down there to help out in any way that he can. The Seattle jazz community has rallied around him at this difficult time, and we are doing everything we can to help. Here’s two ways you can help:
- Come to Lucid TONIGHT with any kind of donation you can. We will be accepting cash and check donations of any amount and will deposit them directly into David bank account in the morning so that by the time he arrives in Haiti the funds will have cleared.
- I will be donating 100% of all sales of my CDs directly to David from now through the end of next week. This way you can donate and get some great music! Do so by visiting oneworkingmusician.com/my-music
This is the most direct way you can help out, as all money will be given to those who need it the most by David himself. When he gets there he plans to buy water, first aid supplies, anything that will help.
I hope you’ll consider donating in any way that you can.
Cheers,
Jason
