I was honoured to be selected as the official photographer for the David Foster Foundation gala event which will be held in Edmonton this September. The David Foster Foundation was started by David in 1986 to help families and their children in need of major organ transplants. Many of these families lives are turned completely upside down when they find out that their child needs a major organ transplant. According to their website, the David Foster Foundation is dedicated to two primary goals:
To provide financial assistance for non-medical expenses, which are not otherwise covered by governmental agencies, to families in Canada with children who are in need of major organ transplants, and to raise public awareness regarding organ donation.
To promote the event, David visited Edmonton on Friday, February 29th for a media event to launch this year's gala which will be held at the Winspear on September 13th. More details about the foundation and the event can be found by visiting the following websites:
Following the media event, I accompanied David over to the Stollery Children's Hospital at the University of Alberta. David and his girlfriend Yolanda spent about an hour at the hospital visiting with children who had received or were waiting for major organ transplants. The photos from that event will be published on the David Foster Foundation website in the coming weeks. In the meantime, here is just a sample of one of the images that I took during the visit:
