The Maple Leaf Challenge

Ok guys and gals, I (we-MLM) need your help spreading the word to families about The Maple Leaf Mission!!! There are massive amounts of applications flowing in from photographers and families alike BUT I KNOW we can reach more people... So I am going to challenge everyone to help us spread the word, via Facebook, in your community, etc... If you would like flyers to hand out, let me know, I'll get them!!! I am in the process of gathering as much info on media outlets in all the states that I can, BUT if you have any info you can send me from your area PLEASE DO!!!  






MLM offers three types of sessions;




"Your Moment Sessions" for those who have been diagnosed with debilitating diseases, genetic disorders or are in remission from cancer who are fighting the fight and living life to it's fullest!!! If you aren't sure you qualify, apply, MLM will notify you and let you know whether or not you do...




"Final Moment Sessions" (I got chills just typing that) These sessions are for families who want to capture the last moments of their loved ones life, not necessarily the very final moment, but the moments being shared before that time comes... 




"Military Moment Sessions" for deployment or homecomings but can also be used as a regular session after these if not all family members are able to attend the actual homecoming/deployment... Capturing a loved ones face when they step off that plane and see their loved ones for the first time is priceless and those are emotions you can't capture unless doing so spontaneously... As well as with deployment which has an entirely different wave of emotions... 






What's the Challenge?



I am simply challenging everyone to spread the word, but how???




Share this link on your Facebook page every day for the next week...




Talk about MLM, you never know who you will meet that qualifies for a session... I had 3 sessions in the first week and I''m still sending people over because there are soooo many disorders that qualify...




Tell other photographers; ask them if they are willing to donate their time for these sessions...




Send me information for media outlets in your area (outside of Grand Junction) so I can get that information back to the MLM board and hopefully get exposure this way as well...




Do you have products you can donate for fundraisers??? Ideas for fundraisers???




MLM is in need of makeup artists as well!!!




Nurses, if you know of any facilities that would allow us to spread the word, send the info to me... I am on my own mission to do as much as I can for this foundation... 


Military families, any information you can send our way would be great... I am extremely eager to do these sessions for the men and women who serve our country!!!



What does this cost you might ask... Well, It is 100% free!!! Each family will receive 10 images on a CD as well as their choice of 1-8x10 or 2-5x7's... And final  moment sessions will receive a DVD of all images set to the music of their choice... 

Are you unsure of who qualifies??? The MLM site has it all lined out for you, go to http://www.themapleleafmission.com/p/faq.html and read the detailed information regarding sessions... 




I am happy to announce my official acceptance as a board member of The Maple Leaf Mission, I am their official Marketing Director for the US!!! So you will be hearing a lot from me regarding getting the word out, fundraisers and anything else I can think of... 




Thank you all...




Oh, do you want something for free??? Everyone who shares this will be entered into a 
drawing for $75 Gift Card towards any print purchase with Christie Burns Photography! So be sure you tag me and MLM when you post to get credit, and enable the post to be viewed by everyone in the lock bar in case your profile is private... Otherwise it won't come across our pages... 


Help The Maple Leaf Mission give these families the gift of life through pictures!!!
