Photographer Wanted!

Photographer Wanted!

The University of Guelph's Hospitality and Tourism Management Student

Association (HTMSA). is looking for a volunteer to photograph a very meaningful fundraising event on

Friday January 20th.  Here is what it is about:

The HTMSA's aim is to give students a distinctive edge by providing the

opportunities necessary for development within the industry. We go beyond

the classroom to help our students associate with industry leaders of today

and tomorrow. As well, beyond the classroom we are a family. We care for

each other and are presently quite concerned about Drew Cumpson's situation.

Drew is an amazing person. Extremely involved in campus life, Drew has

wholeheartedly participated in numerous charity events including "Five Days

for the Homeless". It came as no surprise when Drew chose to postpone his

summer co-op start date in order to volunteer with a University of Guelph

program in Peru. However, it was a surprise when we learned that during this

program, Drew fractured his C4 vertebra in a swimming accident.

We regret to inform you that Drew's injuries are permanent and he is a

quadriplegic. As he remains in serious condition at Kingston General

Hospital, Drew will undergo multiple surgeries and a lengthy rehabilitation

period. Though he is determined, this is a tough battle and an enormous

financial burden. Consequently apart from prayers and good thoughts, as

Drew's HTMSA family we are showing our support by organizing a fundraiser

with an auction and live music Friday January 20, 2012.

Our goal is to raise $10,000 to cover the cost of the wheelchair Drew needs

and a little bit more. Drew Cumpson, a person with such a big heart deserves

big help!

Would you be able to help us help Drew by being our event photographer? This

would be very much appreciated. If you're not available, do you know of

anyone who may be?

Please feel free to contact  Michelle Chan [mchan03@uoguelph.ca] with any questions or see

Thank you for your consideration.
