Directors

Children with cancer are smiling today at a Flashes of Hope shoots. Our dedicated volunteer chapter directors coordinate photo shoots within the nation's top hospitals and at special events for children with cancer. Whether photographing one child isolated in a bone marrow unit or a hundred kids having fun at summer camp, it's an unforgettable experience for everyone involved.

Jeannie Kruidenier

Jeannie learned about Flashes of Hope and its mission following a personal experience losing a brother to Scleroderma after a 10 year illness. During his last week he wanted his photo taken with all of his loved ones. Jeannie knew right away that she wanted to get involved with Flashes of Hope because of what these photos mean to families of loved ones, the hope that the photos bring and the memories that are always cherished.

Jeannie is a founding member of a ladies' Giving Circle that is involved in many local charitable causes. With the help of the members of this Giving Circle, they are sponsoring and volunteering at Flashes of Hope’s exciting summer camps!

When Jeannie is not dedicating her time to volunteering, she is in business with her father at Aluminum & Carbon Processing.
