EAST LONGMEADOW – Robert Charles Photography recently announced the launch of their Annual Holiday Collection Fundraiser, with the goal to raise $10,000 for Baystate Children’s Hospital. Since 2005, the acclaimed studio has donated over $100,000 to the hospital by gifting its proceeds from sessions purchased in the month of December.
Robert Charles Photography has put together a special holiday package available until Dec. 23. All of the proceeds from the sale of these packages will benefit our area’s only children’s hospital.
For a donation of $79 to Baystate Children’s Hospital, donors will receive a photographic session, an 8-by-10 signature portrait, digital images for social media and a surprise gift. Two other companies have stepped up to help in this year’s effort; Pop’s Biscotti & Chocolate of Wilbraham, along with the Delaney House of Holyoke. Both have offered to provide extra-special gifts to those who make a donation. The retail value of the holiday package now exceeds $350.
To make a donation and receive a holiday package, you may call 525-4264, or visit www.robertcharlesphoto.com. Holiday packages may be purchased as a gift, or used for the family making the donation. The sessions can be scheduled up until April of 2017. There are a limited number of packages available and the fundraiser will come to an end on Dec. 23.

Baystate Children’s Hospital also includes the area’s only Pediatric Emergency Department and Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), which is the regional tertiary care facility for newborn infants delivered in Western Massachusetts who require highly specialized care.
