Remember that knockout sunset in Minneapolis? Well for me, that night was paired with a heartwarming fundraiser supporting Memorial Blood Centers, a nonprofit that saves lives with blood donations. At the event, which is full of food, drink & merriment, you hear harrowing and heartening stories of those who have survived due to blood donation. I'm happy to have been photographing Memorial Blood Centers' events for the past 4 or 5 years as each time I'm gladly reminded of different ways we can make our world a better place.
