Benefit Concert for Leukemia Research

While our primary focus is photographing weddings and portraits, sometimes we get the opportunity to put our time & skills into other cool happenings. In this post, here are some of Jon’s favorite images from a recent Leukemia Benefit Concert held in Garwood, NJ. Casey (a friend of his from high school) organized this awesome event, showcasing a local slew of talented bands and raising support for a great cause. Can’t forget to say a shout out to a fellow photographer friend, Jenna Perfette, for allowing Jon to tag along.

the venue: The Crossroads at Garwood, Garwood, NJ, 78 North Ave  (site link here, Yelp! link here)
the cause: Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LINK)- money was raised for a local team participating in a triathlon
for Team in Training for Leukemia research
the bands (in order of appearance):
+ Ugly Club  http://www.myspace.com/theuglyclubnj
+ The Tattle Tales http://www.myspace.com/thetattletales
+ Bah Bah Bahrain http://www.myspace.com/bahbahbahrain
+ Young American Artists http://www.myspace.com/youngamericanartists
+ Martian http://www.myspace.com/listentomartian

the amount raised: over $300 in donations at the door
event planner: Casey R.  (Interested in having her plan your next show/event/concert? She can be reached at: caseyreznik@mac.com )

Lastly, here are some kind words directly from the fingertips of Casey:

*A huge thanks to Lee from Crossroads for making the show possible and being insanely easy to work with.
*Make sure you come out to the next event so more money can be raised for worthy causes… Besides, more people means more fun for those attending.
