This event was a fundraiser called: Santé to Life. I was so grateful and happy to be the photographer of this portrait event in Montreal.
Santé to Life is a 5 à 7 fundraiser by young professionals for young professionals. This year, it was at Le Cathcart on June 21st! All the funds raised will go towards the Healthy Kids Fund to support the Hospital’s most urgent needs, such as:
- The purchase lifesaving medical equipment
- Funding research into childhood diseases, such as diabetes and cancer
- Teaching the next generation of doctors and nurses
- Helping families facing financial difficulties due to their child’s hospitalization
To celebrate, we had a photography station set up with a neutral background/nice lighting, to take headshots for LinkedIn. This was a fun idea a fun idea for a networking event, as many young professionals do not have nice LinkedIn photos (they are normally taken on their cellphones).
This gathering was geared towards a demographic that is looking to give back at the start of their career. This generation is exceptionally community-minded and cause-oriented, with an eye towards bridging the gap between fun and philanthropy. It is of this philosophy that the Young Leaders Circle (YLC) was born.
As the newest committee in the YLC, Santé to Life joined nearly a decade’s worth of different events that have raised more than $250,000 combined.
