Rest

Happy Sunday tomorrow! Mine will be — especially if I can manage a pleasant drive to drink in what’s left of the leaves. It’s been a busy week!

I took these images for my former church to use in their bulletin.

Fashion Fights Ovarian Cancer

The Sandy Rollman Ovarian Cancer Foundation serves women diagnosed with ovarian cancer. They also raise awareness about the disease and fund research for early detection, better treatment and a cure. Last week, they hosted a beautiful dinner, silent auction and fashion show “to celebrate the lives of those who’ve conquered cancer.” The 9th annual gala, held in the center of Liberty Place in Philadelphia, was heartwarming. I photographed the event, assisted by Sara Zimmerman. Here are some highlights:

First are the founders.  Next, the remarkable Missy Dougherty who was honored with the Spirit of Survivorship Award. Below on the left are Pat and Laura Carlino; on the right, Dr. George Coukos received the Angela Carlino Excellence in Ovarian Cancer Research/Care Award. These are all very inspiring people.

Carlino’s provided all the food for the evening. It was outstanding! I can only assume they completely outdid themselves. Not only was it delicious, but the abundance and the variety, as well as their attention to detail, showed what kind of business they run and what big hearts they have.
