Ebert's Kids With Cameras covered by ABC news!

Our studio has close connections with the special needs world and we thought about how cool it would be to see how some special needs kids view the world, or, at least, through the lens of a camera. Furthermore, how perfect it would be for these kids to be able to give back and relieve some of the stigma that comes with societies labels of special needs people and to show their community that they have just as much to offer as anyone else, if not more?
Our Third Annual Ebert's Kids With Cameras will took place Thursday, May 20, 2010 from 4pm until 8pm. It was held at Ebert Studio of Hinsdale, 110 S. Washington St., Hinsdale, IL. This year were very proud to be working with Charlie's Gift, a non profit public charity dedicated to providing a uniquely integrated approach to supporting children and families facing Autism, Sensory Processing, and Related Disorders. Charlie's Gift is in association with The Community House of Hinsdale. A special shout out to The Frame Warehouse of Oak Park for donating frames for the project.
What an awesome evening we had! Ebert's Kids With Cameras was more energetic than ever, plus we had Theresa Gutierrez there to cover the story!! See ABC news story.
The raffle winner of the jewelry donated by Susan Lieber was Eldon, ticket number 460201! Congrats Eldon!
Most of the images that the kids were selling, sold! Between the jewelry raffle, images sold, DVD sales and donations we came in just shy of $ 2500 for Charlie's Gift! I'd say that was a great show! Special thanks to our 19 photographers for making it happen!

If anyone is still interested in purchasing any of the kid's images, feel free to check out the website and email jeff@ebertstudio.com with orders!

The images are sold as 8x10s without mats or frames. They are $15 each plus $5 for shipping. Credit Card by phone and checks payable to Ebert Studio are acceptable forms of payment.

All proceeds go to Charlie's Gift (of course!).
