BasketBALL for American Cancer Society!




As part of our committment to our community, we participated in the BasketBALL for the American Cancer Society in May. It was a real social occasion, and everyone dressed up for the event, with the exception of their shoes - the guys were supposed to wear athletic shoes with their tuxes! Some of them really took this to heart and wore basketball shorts, too, but Nolan decided to remain gentlemanly and wear pants!



The food was fabulous to eat (and to look at), there was a band for dancing, and lots of local celebrities and sports figures all helping to raise money for the American Cancer Society. (Look at these cool jerseys that were auctioned off - Chris Paul, Tim Duncan, and Josh Howard) Anne and Nolan were there for all the action, photographing the event and enjoying themselves at the same time. Anne Grant Photography also donated a portrait session and framed portrait in both the silent auction and in the live auction. It was a great event, and we are excited about being able to participate next year!


Dine Gaudio, Head Coach for the Wake Forest Mens' Basketball team, participated in the event, as did Cameron Kent, WXII news anchor. You never know, Nolan might be up there next year! Thanks to all who helped raise money for this excellent cause...
