This year, things are looking different -- but we're still going to host our Portraits in the Park for Operation Smile!
On October 17, 2020 and October 24, 2020 Love & Lenses Photography will be running their Portraits in the Park For Operation Smile fundraiser on two separate days.
This Fall we will have a team of three photographers who will each photograph 15-minute mini portrait sessions for a suggested donation of at least $30 per session.
Due to the COVID-19 crisis, we will be staggering our available slots with empty slots to help prevent too much gathering at one time. By opening up two days, we will still be able to offer a total of 24 slots per photographer!
This seemingly low number would equal 9 life-saving surgeries for children around the world!
That's 9 children whose lives are being saved. 9 families who will get to watch their children survive simple every-day activities such as eating and drinking. 9 children who, because of you, will be able to smile.
We are only receiving donations in advance due COVID-19. Payments may be made here, through the OneSmile donation page no later than October 12th for the October 17th date, and no later than October 19th for the October 24th date. This way if you have to cancel your session, we have time to fill it with names from a waiting list. Donations cannot be refunded if you forfeit your session. More information will be found in your contracts.
Our fundraising goal is to break our record and raise $2,160 combined (or 3 smiles per photographer).
$240 is all it takes to change a life!
