Stollery Children’s Hospital Edmonton Alberta Fundraiser 2008

On March 12th IMP Events special event photography photographed the Stollery Children's Hospitals 2008 Radiothon in Edmonton Alberta.

“Throughout the two days more than 100 patients, their families and hospital staff shared inspiring stories with CORUS listeners. More than 300 volunteers answered phone calls from listeners wishing to pledge their support.” – http://www.stollerykids.com/

“Once again Radiothon was filled with emotional and inspiring stories,” said Jennifer Wood, President & CEO of the Stollery Children’s Hospital Foundation. “This would not be possible without the incredible commitment from CORUS Radio and support from its generous listeners.”
The Edmonton public raised a grand total of 1.65 million over the two days.


Two of IMP Events primary photographers Trevor and Nick were the photographers for the event. Although both have photographed various Stollery events in the past both Trev and Nick were inspired and humbled by the experience.

As always we were honored to be chosen to photograph for the Stollery Children's Hospital.

Hair Massacure Edmonton Alberta

This past week IMP Event Photography had the pleasure of photographing the 6th year of the Valentine's Day Hair Massacure. The Hair Massacure is a brilliant charity effort in Edmonton Alberta, which raises money to support children with life threatening illnesses. http://www.hairmassacure.com/


Participants of all ages and genders lined up in droves to get their hair died pink then have their heads shaved in order to show their support for the cause. Special guests included athletes from the Edmonton Rush and Edmonton Eskimos as well as guest entertainer Wayne Lee.


This year OVER 1000 HEADS WERE SHEARED and over six hundred and fifty thousand was raised for the The Stollery Children’s Hospital Foundation and Make-A-Wish Northern Alberta.

We at IMP Event Photography are proud to have been involved with such an important charity event.
