Last Saturday Matt and I had the pleasure of photographing a charity dinner and fundraiser fashion show at the Huntington Beach Hyatt Regency for the PADRE Foundation, a non-profit serving families of diabetic children and teens. The organizers held a large silent auction, raffle, told personal stories, and produced dance performances by the kids as well as a runway fashion show with apparel donated by Macy’s. It was a raging success with all fundraising goals met and exceeded!
The event was inspirationally themed “Soaring to New Heights”
A host of professional hairdressers and makeup artists donated their time and talent to make the PADRE kids sparkle onstage
