Make-a-Wish Gala - InterContinental Boston
As soon as I found out that my little friend Giovanni was heading to Disney World courtesy of the Make-A-Wish Foundation, my ticket to the Magic Kingdom was booked! After what he has gone through, the thought of him being so happy and excited was reason enough to tag along. If you have not seen my pictures from Giovanni's Make-A-Wish trip to Disney, click HERE!
The same week I visited Disney with Giovanni, I was also contacted by Make-A-Wish about photographing their upcoming gala. They had been referred to me by an event planner and didn't even know that I had just experienced one of their wishes on my own! Talk about fate. Since then I have become very familiar and fond of this generous organization. What's not to love?
