Speak to Me Fundraiser (Apr 16)
*** Help (Jan 2019) - This is consistently a well-viewed gallery, years after the event. It was a good show, but the lighting was hard and I know I've done better elsewhere. Can you please email me at keith@kbevphoto.com and tell me know how you found this page?
Another great event to raise money fora good cause. Be sure to check the "full" gallery if you want to see others from the event. They are unlocked. There's also a great interview gallery in the "20 Questions" section of the site, from last year's show.
*** Always credit the photographer! In this case, KBevPhoto. Thanks.
I'll let Nina tell the story in her own words (from FB):
Hold on to your butts, guys, this is gonna be a doozy!
First thing's first: WOWZERS, GUYS! Thank you all so much for attending STM2016!! Between tickets and raffles, we raised about $2800 for the National Autism Association! Woo woo!!! Donations will still be accepted until April 9th through the website.
ALSO! If you weren't able to nab yourself a sweet set of performer trading cards, you didn't miss out! Go to the website http://speaktomeforautism.weebly.com/…/Featured_Products.ht…) and grab a set while you can! You'll get them mailed directly to you from me. What more could you ask for ; D
Secondly, a big shout out to all the volunteers and staff! Without them, this event would not have been as smooth or successful. SO! A major thank you to: Anne Anderson, Melanie Sterbenc, Becky Fillion, Charles Fillion, Kevin Miller, and Paul Hensley!
Third, another huge shout out to the photographers and videographer for the evening! Thank you for capturing moments of excitement, enthusiasm, vulnerability, and pure fucking joy! I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say we anticipate the wonderful images you captured. So thanks to Serena Valenti, KbevPhoto, and Gretchen Hasse!
Fourth, this guy gets his own paragraph. Marc Alan Fishman. This guy. Honestly, Marc shared so much time and energy in creating the iconic STM images from last year and this year. His talent and generosity are second to none. THANK YOU.
Fifth, thank you to all the sponsors and donors!! Without your awesome prizes, we wouldn't have had such killer raffles! Thank you to Benjamin Krygsheld, Heathen Ink, Virgin Hotels Chicago, Hot Mess Heels, Aura Heels, Mika Yoga Wear, Mixed Media Artwork by Laura Banasiak, Blankets by Stacy, Laura Gimbel - Jamberry Nails Independent Consultant, Krew Wellness, Muse Pole Fitness, Michelle Mynx Academy of Pole Dance, IndyPole DanceFitness, Studio Phoenix, and Rising Goddess Fitness!
