NEW CUMBERLAND, Pa. (WHTM) – A local photographer is hosting a “Pay What You Can” portrait day in New Cumberland Borough Park in an effort to help a friend who is undergoing heart surgery Wednesday.

Marc Faubel of Echo Reality Photography came up with the idea after noticing that a GoFundMe account for Christopher Hickey wasn’t receiving much attention.

The event will be held on Saturday. Participants will receive 10-minute mini-sessions between noon and 8 p.m. Any donation will be accepted. In return, people will have their photo professionally taken, edited and delivered digitally.

Cash will be accepted as well as major credit and debit cards.

Faubel said it’s important that people pre-register for the event. They can do so by emailing Marc@erfotos.com to schedule a time slot.

Anyone interested in donating to the GoFundMe can find information here.
