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!
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
