The Make-A-Wish Event at Bayfront Inn, Naples
A Magical Moment
This spring, the Bayfront Inn in Naples served as the enchanting backdrop for an extraordinary event that will be remembered for years to come. I had the honor of photographing this inspiring evening organized by the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Naples, an event that is particularly close to my heart.
The Make-A-Wish Foundation, a global non-profit organization, is dedicated to granting life-changing wishes to children with critical illnesses. By providing moments of joy, hope, and strength, it helps these children face their health challenges with renewed perspective and a smile on their faces.
The event brought the community together to support this noble cause. The Bayfront Inn was transformed into a magical venue where guests enjoyed an elegant dinner, inspiring speeches, and silent auctions, with proceeds going directly towards making children’s wishes come true.
The presence of numerous donors, volunteers, board members, and wish families added warmth and emotion to the evening. Every smile and burst of laughter captured that night reflects the profound impact these wishes have on the lives of children and their families.
In collaboration with the Make-A-Wish Foundation, Renee Manzolillo played a crucial role in this mission of transforming lives. Her dedication and commitment to fulfilling wishes made this event a true success, and I was privileged to capture these precious moments through my lens.
Photographing this event reminded me of why supporting such causes is so important. The images taken that night not only reflect the beauty of the event but also the hope and strength that the Make-A-Wish Foundation brings to families in need.
Thank you to everyone who contributed to making the evening so special. Your support makes a tremendous difference in the lives of the children we had the privilege of meeting and helping. Together, we created unforgettable memories that will continue to brighten the lives of these young heroes.
