Angels for EOS Par-Tee for a Cure and Golf Tournament

This past weekend we had the pleasure of being a part of the Angels for EOS Par-Tee for a Cure and Golf Tournament. Amy, one of the two mom's who founded Angels for EOS, found us in the CRAVE Dallas book and approached us in April to help her plan the Par-Tee at Marie Gabrielle. We were immediately touched by Amy and Cindy's stories, their passion for helping find a cure for their sons and for many other people with Eosinophilic disorders. We were on board from the moment we met with them, and were so excited to have fun planning this Par-Tee as well as help an amazing cause! 


Amy came to us already knowing that she wanted the gala event to be "summer chic". Which we immediately loved! We decided on a clean, crisp, summery color palette of green and white with silver accents. We had a blast picking out linens and rentals (a fun funky lounge was a must), meeting with florist Deitra Butler of Lush Couture Floral and with lighting pros Jennifer Burns and Robert Winter from Beyond, tasting gelato and sorbet from Paciguo and popcorn flavors from Uptown Popcorn, to name just a few of the fun things we did planning this event. Here are some "sneak peak" photos from the Par-Tee, taken on our iPhones. We can't wait to see, and share with you, the photos from Greg Blomberg and video by ProEdit Productions. Stay tuned!

The day after the Par-Tee, Angels for EOS hosted a golf tournament at Tour 18 in Flower Mound. We had a blast "riding along", putting a few times, enjoying the gorgeous (but hot) day, and helping raise money for this fabulous cause. Here are a few of our iPhone photos from the golf tourney.

Help-Portrait 12/12/09

Last Saturday Deanie Michelle Events had the pleasure of being involved with Help-Portrait. Help-Portrait was a first-time international event that was held on 12/12/09, with one simple mission- find someone in need, take their portrait, print their portrait, and deliver their portrait. Deanie Michelle Events was so touched and moved by the efforts of Nashville photographer, Jeremy Cowart, that we immediately knew we wanted to be a part of this worldwide event. With the gracious help of Family Gateway in downtown Dallas and Dallas photographers Ben Quintanilla, Christina Quintanilla, Jared Rey, Catie Ronquillo, Don Mamone, and John Harris Deanie Michelle Events put together Help-Portrait Dallas for the wonderful families at the Family Gateway shelter. Makeup artist Kristen Brown was on hand to provide hair and makeup for the beautiful women of these families. It was truly heartwarming to see these families beaming with joy over something most of us take for granted; the memories and happiness that comes from something as simple as a photo. Many of these families had NEVER had their photos taken, and the majority of the families had NEVER had a family portrait taken before 12/12/09 and Help-Portrait. A HUGE shout out to Jeremy Cowart for the fabulous and inspiring idea of Help-Portrait, and for all of your effort in spreading the word and making Help-Portrait the international event that it became! Here in Dallas, we are already excited for Help-Portrait 2010! Giving back truly is a beautiful thing. How are you giving back this holiday season?
