Special Fundraising Event for CarePartners of WNC

What an honor to be asked to photograph this very touching and moving fundraiser for CarePartners of Western North Carolina. The luncheon, held at the Renaissance Hotel in downtown Asheville, was appropriately titled 'A Variety Show' featuring a theme based from many hit TV series between the 1960's & 1970's. They had an amazing turn-out and their contributors, many of whom, dressed up in different characters for the theme. The event was Emceed by Ken & Tammy in the morning from local radio station 96.5 FM. Sally, the superstar coordinator of the event, had many different forms of entertainment for the variety show, to include a Sarah Palin stand-up comedian, The Autumn Players, A belly-dancer, various singers and even a hoola-hoop contest!
