Help create 2014 “Pin-Up” Calendar and the fight against cancer

Tracy Birdsell started the organization Love Twelve after having a lumpectomy at the age of 29. She turned her passion and profession of photography and invited other young survivors to help create a vintage-inspire pin-up calendar.

The organization’s aim is to converge art, knowledge, friendship, and the positive, supportive community of caring and healing for young adult women surviving cancer.

Birdsell is looking to make the message bigger and better. She is hoping to amplify the message and learned by shooting the first calendar how powerful the combination of photos and stories are. Stories have the power to inspire the change that is desperately needed.

Support for her Fundraiser  enables the organization to travel, produce, shoot and print and ship at least 500 calendars, building organize and produce grassroots awareness through podcasts, YouTube channel, blog, and will help in shooting a documentary film. Support will also help in attending and exhibiting at trade shows, galleries, conferences, expos and cancer events, maintaining and upgrade the Web site, graphic design and other digital assets.

Everyone who donates $25 or more to the Fundaiser will receive a cop of the calendar in October.

The goal is to raise $25,000 and there is less than 25 days left in the campaign.

Marine Corps Marathon and Mission Continues helping Veterans

On Sunday, October 27, Conor Joyce will be participating in the historic 38th Marine Corps Marathon on behalf of The Mission Continues. As a Team Mission Continues racer, he’ll be supporting a great organization which makes a difference in the lives of post-9/11 veterans by helping to fund fellowships that enable returning service members to continue their missions of service as citizen leaders here at home. Please consider donating to help him in reaching his fundraising goal of $1,000.

The Mission Continues is a national nonprofit that supports post-9/11 veterans in their transition home.

Since its inception in 2007, The Mission Continues has awarded over 600 fellowships in 42 states across the country aiding veterans in successfully serving with nonprofits such as the American Red Cross, Habitat for Humanity and Big Brother Big Sisters.
