In 2014, I pledged $1 to Ronald McDonald House Charities for every silly face I captured in group photos. I got 1,103 silly faces and gave $1,203 to RMHC. I love these 19 photos :)~

Why did I do this?

In 2012, I was trying to capture fun crowd photos of my show for promo purposes. People can look blank watching a show, so I asked crowds to put hands up for a photo. At the 2012 NC State Fair, a lady held up her baby (photo to right). That inspired me.

In 2013, I challenged my audiences into more silliness for photos which turned into “silly face photos” because it was the easiest thing to dare the most people into.

At the end of 2013, for no reason other than fun, I got a 62 silly face photo (photo to left) at the NC State Fair with help from Wacky Wheeler, Steve Trash, Fair Staff and vendors.

I chose RMHC  because my son had open heart surgery a few years ago. The hearts which hugged us while staying at a Ronald McDonald House astounded me.

The best part (photo to the right) is the most awesome thank you package I’ve ever received!
