The Zipperstrong Project 2021 Photoshoot

Due to Covid-19 this year's event will be small with carefully planned procedures to create as safe an environment as possible for everyone involved. We are only able to offer 10 sessions. To keep things fair, we will fill the slots based on a lottery system and new families will be given preference.

​

How The Lottery Will Work

Registration will close one week after the event is announced. The CCHD-VA team will then go through registrants and divide them into categories based on care center, new families, bereaved families, etc. Slots will be chosen at random within certain categories: at least two per center (based on registration numbers), two slots will be reserved for bereaved families (based on registration numbers). Slots will be filled by new families first, then alumni. We will aim to be regionally representative as well. 

Chosen families will be notified once the lottery is complete. These families then will then be given a specific time slot and must confirm their attendance within two days. If they are unable to commit, we will move to the next in line. Once all time slots are full, we will notify all other registrants of their status. We hope to have all slots full and families notified by October 11.
