Valentines weekend, the
Haywood Park hotel came alive with a Moulin Rouge themed fundraiser for
Caring 4 Children. The atrium was filled with aerial performances by the Librado Sisters. Later in the evening, we were treated to performances by the
Bootstraps Burlesque and Holiday from the Goodies.
Asheville Event Planning coordinated the elaborate evening beautifully! Here are a few from the hundreds of images I captured.
Check out the rest of the evening.

I was so proud to be a part of such a great event. Such a great cause helping children that need it. 93 cents from every dollar raised goes directly to the children. All reprint proceeds go to C4C. For more information, visit the
Caring 4 Children website, the
gala's website, or visit my
site. Look forward to seeing you at the next one! Thank you to Chris Bolm for donating his video services (that are available through Camilla Calnan Photography). He made an amazing video montage that captured the energy of the evening. You can see it by
