Cumming's Calendar Girl
Evie Reichman of Cumming is one of 31 children featured in the 2012 "Childhood Calendar" benefiting the Jack and Jill Late Stage Cancer Foundation.
Cumming resident Evie Reichman, 6, is one of 31 children featured in the 2012 "Childhood Calendar" by Atlanta photographer Oana Hogrefe.
The childhood calendar was created as a fun way to raise money for child-centered charities. This year’s beneficiary is the Jack and Jill Late Stage Cancer Foundation. The organization is dedicated to giving families with one parent in the late stages of cancer the unique gift of spending a few days in the dream destination of their choosing, where they can reconnect without the intrusiveness of the disease.
“We are honored to be partnering with an organization like Jack and Jill that provides such meaningful experiences for families battling cancer”, said Oana Hogrefe in a statement.

One hundred percent of the profits goes directly to Jack and Jill. Each calendar costs $12.99 and can be purchased online. Calendars can also be purchased or picked up at the in nearby Johns Creek.
