After a screening of Shooting Beauty and a visit from Tony Knight and Courtney, students at St. Sebastian's were inspired to raise money for a special gift for Tony. In less than a month, the students and staff raised over $1300 to go towards the purchase of Tony's first digital camera and the Shooting Beauty team's new endeavor, the 100 Cameras Project (official launch late March). Tony had no idea he would be receiving the camera which made the whole day that much more amazing for everyone. To see the video and pictures of Tony receiving his camera, click here. Thank you to the generous and warm students and staff at St. Sebastian's for all you've given back to Shooting Beauty!
