f-11 news: Leo Lam, Erin Tinsley hosts fundraiser for Gulf Restoration Network
Clean Coast Fundraiser by Erin Tinsley & Leo Lam
f-11 photographer Leo Lam, international plus fashion model Erin Tinsley at Heffner Management and commercial photographer Dean Zulich of VH1 “The Shot” fame, will host a fundraiser to benefit the cleanup efforts from the Deep Horizon Oil Disaster.
Ms. Tinsley started the Erin’s Gulf Recovery Fund not long after the incident. Besides the fund raising effort, she is also donating her modeling income in August and will travel to New Orleans soon to volunteer for the Gulf Restoration Network. Unbeknown to many in the creative industry, Leo is also a Lecturer in Electrical Engineering and a researcher in sustainable energy. Frustrated by the disaster and moved by Erin’s compassion towards the living creatures affected, he joined Erin at her first request.
The fundraiser evening will feature fellow f-11 photographer Keith Allen Phillips‘ firsthand photographs from Florida, showing the devastation it caused the famous Pensacola Beach. It will also feature photographs from our friend, photographer Nick Zantop who went to the Gulf area and returned with photographs that the media missed, showing the true devastation.
One hundred percent of the proceeds raised at this event will go to the Gulf Restoration Network.
Tickets are $25 and will include a silent auction, two raffle tickets, hors d’oeuvres, gallery viewing and unlimited drinks for the evening. Auction items by The Seattle Seahawks, Bowie Salon and Spa, Snoqualmie Ridge Golf Club, Jak’s Grill, Hailey’s Cupcakes and more.
