The Oldham Project
The Oldham Project currently provides free portraits to anyone suffering from a life-threatening or terminal illness. We also offer two specific programs, "Be Bold, Feel Beautiful" and "Kourageous Kids", specifically photographing women and children. Our children's program offers children, who are terminally ill, the opportunity to 'escape' the treatment, needles and hospitals, to participate in a photo shoot of their design. We have costumes, props, hats and children are allowed to bring anything they'd like to be photographed with. They have the opportunity to feel like a 'celebrity' while preserving these memories for their parents. Learn more at www.theoldhamproject.org

Importance of Education...
February 29th only comes once every four years so what better way to spend it than joining the Village Summit, Men Making a Difference, New World Flood, Lunch with a Purpose & the greater Lansing community as we celebrate inspiration fought for. There will be dinner, amazing cupcakes from The Cupcake Diva herself, lots of inspiring speakers & projects and maybe even a surprise performance...
In honor of Black History Month, we want you to think about your hopes & dreams then research some of the great African American contributions to whatever they may be… These could be jobs that were done, inventions that were made or simply the motivation that can be drawn from one’s ability to overcome adversity. We hope that you will GO out & seek information- libraries, museums, communication with groups or individuals... Most importantly we want you to learn something that inspires you then share it with us in the form of an essay, poem, picture or video at the event- see rules below.
