ShamRockin’ For a Cure

I was honored to be the official photographer for ShamRockin’ For a Cure, a fundraiser for cystic fibrosis research, at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater in Alpharetta on Saturday, March 10, 2012. For the fourth year in a row the organizers for the event pulled out all of the stops to give the 1,500 plus attendees a show they will not soon forget. Members of the Atholl Highlanders Pipes and Drums and King-O’Sullivan Irish Dancers performed on stage as well as Hardcrush, a local Atlanta band, and The Breakfast Club, an 80s tribute band based out of Chicago, Illinois. Food was provided by local restaurants including 52 Bistro, dal Cuore, Tilted Kilt and Hudson Grille. Last year, the fundraiser collected over $100,000 with the goal this year being $200,000.
