Would you like a new iPad? How about a free photo session with some of the best photographers in town? The prizes have been rallied, now all we need is your support.

Here’s the deal: Sam Stroud Photography has asked us to join some other rock star photogs in town to create the Freedom Fridays Contest.

We said for sure count us in how can we help. So hear is the deal.

Each Friday, starting May 21^st, Sam Stroud will be giving away one free photo session from some of the most talented lens-a-holics around, including:

• Adam Barnes Fine Art Photography
• Kellan Studios
• Stone Blue Productions Photography & Cinematography
• Baby Birds Photography

On the sixth and final week of the contest (Friday, June 25^th), Sam is giving away an iPad. Did you catch that—AN IPAD!

So what does it cost you? In order to be eligible to win, you need to make a suggested donation of $24 to Freedom 4/24. It’s that simple. For every donation you make, your chances of winning goes up, but only one donation is required.

Freedom 4/24 is an organization that exists to provide a pathway to freedom for the sexually exploited in Southeast Asia. Right now, hundreds of thousands of women in Thailand alone are forced to sell their bodies to provide for their families. Your donation of $24 can give one exploited woman 24 hours of freedom and the chance at freedom for a lifetime. Visit www.freedom424.org for more information and to DONATE!

Just $24 can win you an iPad and a photo session with Lynchburgs best photographers and give one woman the opportunity for a different life. Start by donating today!
