The event day was spectacular. Perfect weather. Enthusiastic participants. Great shots from the air.

Be sure to view the full six photosets in our gallery!

Soon after the event, we connected with the aerial photographers and chose the official images to be released to the press.



Our event was covered by the evening news throughout the South, and our still images received front-page placement by a number of newspapers the following day.

All in all, our partners were thrilled with the exposure we generated for them, our event participants really enjoyed the experience, and our team was pleased with the results we created.

Till next time… Keep the Dream Alive!
