We’re starting the year off right at Always Happy Life Photography with giving back to the local community. One of the original goals of Always Happy Life was to be part of charitable organizations, so naturally, this made sense to tie Always Happy Life Photography in with giving back as well.

For the month of February, I’ve chosen to donate to tonight’s Tri Kappa Plymouth, Indiana annual “Ladies Night Out” fundraiser which is this evening. Money raised from tonight supports donations to several great causes including Habitat for Humanity, United Way, Center for Hospice & Palliative Care, Ounce of Prevention, St. Joseph Regional Medical Center. They also help supplement Operation Quiet Comfort, Plymouth Community Orchestra, Earthworks Camp Scholarships, Newspapers in Education, the Marshall County Historical Society and Encore Preforming Arts. On top of these great causes, Tri Kappa has scholarships for local high school senior, which is near and dear to my heart, since I benefited from many during my college years. There are many local businesses involved in this event and I’m sorry to say I won’t be able to attend this year!

Dana set up this morning and it looks like they have lots of great prizes!

In January, I made a donation to the Rob Reinhold Benefit. I met Rhonda in December for my Christmas in Culver Mini Sessions and learned a little bit about their story. When Dawn from Culver Coffee Company approached me about donating to the benefit she and her husband, Larry were organizing, there wasn’t a question in my mind. Our small Culver community raised over $32,000 to help fund the medical needs of the Reinhold family. Absolutely wonderful!!!

New business cards and a few studio display pieces that have recently arrived.

I’ll be planning more charitable fundraising donations and events this year and look forward to giving back to the Culver, Indiana and surrounding communities as much as possible.
