Tunes 4 the Troops: Operation Red Carpet! - Cleveland Event Photographer

Earlier this month I received the pleasure of photographing a fundraising event for Tunes 4 the Troops at Cleveland's Museum Center at 5ive Points.  The organization's goal was to raise enough money to ship all its donated CDs and DVDs to our troops overseas.  Sports and music memorabilia, along with some local business goodies were auctioned off.  I could not believe all the great items that were donated and all the wonderful people that came out to support the cause.  It makes me proud to have grown up in such a charitable town!  Huge thanks to Tarver Distributing for providing some of the evening's beverages and to the Collins Brothers Band for the music.  There are so many people to thank for contributing to making this event come together that I need another blog to thank them all! Several celebrities came out as well, which drove the ticket sales for the event.  Here are a few images from the evening.  To view and/or purchase photos from this event, click here.  All profits made from the sale of these photos will be given back to Tunes 4 the Troops! Buy, buy, buy!

Let's be honest.  It's not a party until Jonathan busts out a few dance moves!  LOL!
