Use your skills to give back: working for a charity

 

Opening Ceremony for the Best Buddies Leadership Conference, the theme,"Wickedly Inclusive"

Covering the big event for your charity.

One inspirational conference where over 2500 people come together to learn and celebrate inclusion for people with Intellectual Disabilities.  Best Buddies serves individuals with IDD and their families. The IDD community includes, but is not limited to, people with Down syndrome, autism, Fragile X, Williams syndrome, and other undiagnosed disabilities.

Students from the United States and around the world descend upon Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana.  They are leaders in their school chapters who come to learn how to support and grow the mission.   

At one time I was the only photographer covering this conference.  Now we have two additional photographers and a team of videographers delivering content to social media. It takes a coordinated effort to cover the various activities and personalities.  There are workshops, speakers, training, activities, celebrations and motivational entertainment.

I continue my 34 years photographing events for Best Buddies because of the Buddies.  

Find a charity that you care about

1.        Your talents are needed and what you do helps the charity’s mission.

2.        Not only do you build your skills, but you also expand your network.

3.        You are making a difference
