Dear March of Dimes Friends

Dear March of Dimes Friends:

We hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and is having a Happy New Year. We cannot think of a better way to kick off 2011 than with the Angels and Sweethearts Calendar presented by Cynthia Pace Photography. Now in its third year, the Angels and Sweethearts Calendar has raised over $20,000 for March of Dimes here in South Carolina. Those beautiful angels and sweethearts that fill the pages of the calendar are such a delight and help to remind everyone of how important our mission is here at the March of Dimes. We still have some 2011 calendars available to purchase; however, the 2012 campaign is already on it way.

Would you like to participate in this campaign? Cynthia Pace Photography will be hosting sessions beginning January 20th as they begin to seek out the top 12 Angels and Sweethearts of 2011. Sessions will be held in the Columbia/ Lexington area January 20th-27th, in Charleston on Feb. 4th, in Florence on Feb 11th, and in Greenville on Feb 8th. Each session cost an $80 donation to the March of Dimes. Every child participating will have a chance to be in the 2012 Calendar.

After all sessions are complete, every angel and sweetheart that had a session will be voted on at www.cynthiapacephotography.com/vote. Voting will begin April 1st and end April 30th at 7pm. Votes will cost $1/vote and all money from voting will be donated to March of Dimes. After the voting is over, the top 12 angels and/or sweethearts will be featured in the 2012 Angels and Sweethearts calendar, with the winning angel or sweetheart being featured on the front cover.

For more information please contact Cynthia Pace Photography at 803.356.0097 or .

Thank you for your support of the March of Dimes.
