The annual Holidays for Hope Fundraiser has become a tradition for me and my camera. The event benefits the El Pomar Empty Stocking Fund. Paul Franco of Ameriprise Financial hosts the party, which always includes great food, good music and some sort of stand-up comical routine by Paul and friends.
It has been my pleasure to take the photos each year. Many of my friends from the running community attend, and it's always fun to see them dressed up, rather than wearing shorts and a tech T-shirt.
This is a great community event and I hope to return for many years to come.
Thanks, Paul. Keep up the good work.
