What a night our Shutterbug Lucky had at the 2019 Hollywood Foreign Press Association Grants Banquet!

Did you know? The HFPA recognizes the critical work of The Pablove Foundation and generously supports our Pablove Shutterbugs program with multi-year grants, so that kids like Lucky can learn the art of photography as they overcome the struggles of pediatric cancer.

Beyond grant funding, the Hollywood Foreign Press gives our deserving students the experiences of a lifetime– providing access to world-class events like the HFPA Grants Gala and Golden Globes red carpets. Our Shutterbugs get to shoot Hollywood’s biggest stars as the youngest Official Press Photographers, truly getting the royal treatment.

This year, 13 year old Lucky joined us for the HFPA Grants Banquet, where he got to meet some of his favorite celebs including Renée Zellweger, Corrine Foxx, Justin Hartley, James Corden, Eva Longoria, Julia Butters, Taika Waititi, and more!

Thank you to the HFPA for continuing to shine a light on kids living with cancer and to the kind stars who stopped by to meet Lucky and see the face of #HFPAGRANTS in action!

Did you know? Childhood cancer is not just one disease. It’s made up of a vast group of diseases, with 12 major types over 100 subtypes. All forms of cancer cause cells in the body to change and grow out of control.

Pablove knows first hand the impact that cancer and cancer treatment can have on families, that’s why we’re on the front lines accelerating breakthroughs in cutting-edge pediatric cancer research and helping to heal patients today through art.

It’s what we call fighting childhood cancer with love.

Pablove Across America riders, meet a very special Shutterbug!

Aksel chose Arts and Crafts as his free time camp activity. Even though he really wanted to go in the pool, he hasn’t learned how to swim yet!

He made the most of his crafting session by printing floral cyanotypes and chatting with Pablove Sports Director, Kerry Quakenbush. Here’s a little message he wanted to share!

When Claire was 5 years old, her parents heard the words that no family wants to hear — “Your child has cancer.” But Claire didn’t let a leukemia diagnosis diminish her smile or dampen her spirit. After hearing about the Pablove Shutterbugs program at their hospital in New Orleans, Claire’s mom enrolled her daughter. She got a chance to learn the art of photography with other kids just like her, living with cancer.

This June, 40 Pablove Shutterbugs Alumni from across the country will descend onto Lake Arrowhead, California for the summer of a lifetime. These deserving children + teens living with cancer will get to enjoy the authentic summer camp tradition, while advancing their photography education in the context of nature — but they need your help!

Give Shutterbugs the Summer of a Lifetime!

This June, kids living with cancer across the country are packing their bags and heading west for a chance to heal, make new friendships and advance their photography skills in nature at Pablove Shutterbugs Alumni Summer Camp.

We need to raise $10,000 to give our Shutterbugs the Summer of a Lifetime — and we need your help to get there! Please give as much as you can to make someone a Happy Camper this June!
