Information, Photography (20070428 Angels Among Us)

Angels Among Us is an annual charitable family event with all proceeds benefiting research of brain and spinal tumors at Duke University's Preston Robert Tisch Brain Tumor Center. Established in 1994 as the Duke Forest 5K by two Duke employees, each of whom wanted to make a difference after each losing a family member to a brain tumor, it includes thousands of volunteers and participants. After an 8a 5-kilometer run through campus, there are family activities and entertainment, as well as a family fun walk through Duke Gardens. In 1994, $27,000 was raised, and last year, in 2006, over $671,000 was raised. This gallery consists of images taken by the following professional photographers as their donation to the cause: David Backus of Photographic Impressions, Leslie Bluhut Chesley and Tann Chesley of Blue Hat Studios, Anna Creissen of Anna Creissen Photography, Barney Koszalka and Rich Miller of f22 Photography, Bob Pendleton of Pendletons Photography, Rick Pink, Bryan Rinnert of 3 Sight Photography, and myself, Dilip Barman of Vibrant Memories Photography.
