“Say Hey” Its Willie Mayes!!!
Had a fun time this morning photographing for my friend Chuck Smith CEO of AT&T for one of his favorite charities, The Achieve Program. Chuck had a few of his friends show up for the kids to have their pictures taken with. First was Super Bowl Champion Ronnie Lott of the 49ers and then a legend joined him, Willie Mayes of San Francisco Giants Fame.
Achieve provides four-year high school scholarships to low-income, minority students at three Bay Area private schools: Archbishop Riordan High School in San Francisco, Mercy High School in San Francisco, and Holy Names High School in Oakland.
As a year-round program, we provide students with extensive academic support, mentoring, summer internships, cultural and community service activities. It is our ultimate goal that all achieve students go on to college, graduate, and become successful citizens who will give back to their communities.
I’m looking forward to shooting their party next year too. All of these kids will have their college education paid for and they all, yes all are guaranteed jobs every summer. No money is from our government, its all from personal donations. What a great program, i wish it was everywhere!

PS It is so cool to see this beautiful limo sitting in our driveway…I am sure the neighbors are wondering what we are doing with a car that is bigger than our house out front.
