Event Photography: Idaho Voices for Children - Children's Champion Luncheon | Boise Photographer - BLOG

It’s time for another event photography blog post. Today I’m talking about the 2015 Children’s Champion Luncheon”. This post is long overdue! I just noticed as I was getting ready to write about the 2016 event… that I still had not highlighted 2015. I’m not going to lie, I’m terrible at keeping up this blog!

So…what is the “Children’s Champion Luncheon”? It’s both a fundraising event and an awards luncheon put on by Idaho Voices For Children. This organization is a group of concerned Idaho citizens who gather together to work on and implement new government policies and issues. Issues that promote the interests and well being of children. The primary issues they focus on are health, education, safety and family economic security.

Every year an individual from Idaho is honored at the luncheon. They are given the “Children’s Champion Award”. This person chosen has made great strides to make changes within Idaho or their community to help children.

Bev Harad was the 2015 Children’s Champion Award winner. Bev started a statewide advocacy group called “People for Schools”, worked 18 years as a Boise School Trustee, and serves on the Boise Schools Foundation Board. She’s spent 25+ years advocating for Idaho’s youth.

When an organization such as this is planning an upcoming awards event, they bring in an event photographer such as myself. Leap Photography was hired to not only photograph the luncheon but to capture candid photos and detail shots for future event promotions.

Thanks Idaho Voices for Children for choosing Leap Photography. It was a pleasure!
