The Couch for the Cause is a one year campaign aimed at raising awareness of and support for cancer, which affects 1 in 3 people. The idea behind the Couch for the Cause combines creative photography with local business, family and friends who have been touched by cancer in some capacity and want to share in the mission. Each photography session will highlight the faces of supporters while raising awareness and funds for the Peoria Cancer Center Foundation. The monies raised will be earmarked in their entirety to be used in central Illinois to help cancer patients and their families as they undergo their cancer treatments and therapies.
The campaign will last one year, beginning July 15, 2009 and culminating on July 15, 2010. At the end of the one year campaign, the website will open up for voting to determine the favored photographs/creative ideas. The top 13 (cover included) will be used to create a 12 month Couch for the Cause calendar. The winners will be announced at a press release in August 2010. All participants will be listed on the back of the calendar, and of course featured on the website throughout the campaign.
The cost for each photography session is $250 which includes the sitting fee, one 8 x 10 photo, and a $150 donation to the Peoria Cancer Center Foundation*. All calendar proceeds will also be donated to the Peoria Cancer Center Foundation.
