Our mission is simple...to connect people.
As we all know, the event industry has taken a hard hit due to COVID-19. We rely and thrive on face-to-face interactions; that is our whole world. But today, we are all going through challenging times and we have cancelled 13 events in 9 cities between March and April 2020 and the future is uncertain. However, there is more we can do in the meantime.
This is why the "Front Porch Project" is so important to us. We will continue to connect people, neighborhoods, and families. We are making history as we speak and we will look back on these days when families were isolated and the positive effects it had on all of us as we slowed down and appreciated the simple things in life. Between April and May 2020, we took portraits of families on their front porches from a safe distance to document this time in history, they received all digital pictures, and all we asked in return is to support CURE Childhood Cancer or any local business in any amount. We are excited to announce through the "Front Porch Project," we raised more than $1,100 for CURE and supported over 24 local business. We are a resilient community and together we will be stronger than before.

What our families are saying...
One of the main things I think came about from all of this is that we needed to slow down. As parents, kids and communities. All we ever did was run, run, run. It has been really nice to have more time with my kids to laugh, eat, play games and talk. I truly believe God had a message.....and it was to wake up and enjoy what's in front of you! I also believe that the earth is enjoying the break. Some of the worst places in the world for pollution are now in the "normal" range!
“A meaningful life is validated through our relationships, so, seeing you today was just supreme; it brought vitality to our lives! Thank you!”
"The unknown has been a roller coaster of emotions, starting with a little panic, then disbelief and fear that I can't protect my family which has lead to absolute appreciation for time we're spending together."
"COVID-19 has changed the way we appreciate the little things. We spend quality time at home playing fun games every day, TikTok dance challenge, and helping our small community pass this crisis by sewing cotton masks. So far we have donated over 250 masks and learned to limit and shop local!"
"This is such a strange and difficult time, but one I know is history in the making. Having pictures of my family to document our time at home, and the way our community is coming together, is something I know we will cherish when we are older."
"These photo's represent our new normal. It's our reality."
