National Charity Model Search

Thank you for your support of my participation in the National Charity Model Search. I've enjoyed submitting many wonderful portraits of our community's beautiful children to the contest, and I'm proud that by working together we've raised over $94,000 for Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep.

The date to enter portrait submissions has passed, but there's still time to rally the final vote and raise more money for charity, as well as voting to keep your model in the standings. If you've been putting off placing your vote, please do so now. Also, please urge your family and friends to vote. The contest selects America's Cutest Kid, and the winning child receives great prizes, including a $5,000 US Savings Bond and a Canon PowerShot G10 digital camera. Remember, each dollar generated by votes goes toward providing infant bereavement photography to parents who have lost a child.

Interested in casting your vote? Click here. This link goes directly to the Sacramento region voting gallery where I have several entries posted for the following children: Lola Bernhardt, Natalie Sarley, Andrew Tomczak, Alex Wacker, and Aaron Wacker. You can search for each photograph by the child's last name. Lola's photo is currently in third place and Andrew's photo is currently in sixth place. Voting ends at midnight on April 2, 2009.

If you didn't participate in this year's contest, I hope you'll join in the fun next year.

Thanks again for your support and your vote!
