" Giving to the Gift of a Lifetime program was an easy choice. The organization’s mission to provide access to professional senior portraits is powerful. It's disheartening to know that some students achieved this milestone and don't have a senior portrait to commemorate this moment. I’m honored to play a part in helping make that happen."

" I believe in this organization's mission and proud to donate towards this cause. When visiting my mother before her passing, she still had my senior portrait framed in her living room. No family should be denied the opportunity to capture this lifetime memory. This will definitely be a recurring donation for me."
