Roar for a Cure Seacrets, MD | LLS Man of the Year Event 2014 | Dana Marie Photography

What an amazing event, lots of great food and so many business donated items for the silent auction to raise money for the National Lymphoma and Leukemia Society.  This event was called Roar for a Cure in honor of Ricky Kerrigan who is running for Man of the Year 2014.  The Kaleb Brown band and Galaxy Collective adorned the evening with their musical stylings and the event was very successful.  It was fun to take a few action images of the bands playing in the darkly lit venue.  The evening ended with a male and female date auction and it was a hoot to see live!

Colby Throw the First Pitch | Delmarva Shore Birds Game | Salisbury, MD | Dana Marie Photography

The threat of rain loomed all day and why wouldn't it - every Man of the Year Event thus far that was scheduled for outdoors had been touched by some rain.  Colby got to throw the first pitch.  While most people may be nervous or exciting in the minutes leading up to the big moment, girlfriend wanted a slice of pizza!  Ricky Kerrigan who is currently fundraising for the National Leukemia and Lymphoma Society escorted her out to throw the first pitch.  She did a great job and we all cheered for her!  Very touching to watch!  No sooner that she threw the ball the rain began to fall and the game was postponed.  Love seeing this little chicky smile!
