Dylan Levine was born with a rare bone disease called Fibrous Dysplasia, which required him to have over 30 surgeries since age three. Despite this disability, Dylan is a world class wheelchair tennis and basketball athlete who is ranked #1 in wheelchair tennis in the country and 4th in the world in juniors. He travels the world representing the United States in both sports. He was chosen by the Disney Channel and the Paralympic Commitee to appear on two Disney spots for it's program "Sports Briefs".

This gala event is being held to help Dylan defray his expenses for training, travel and equipment during his pursuit of a place on the 2012 United States Paralympic team. This incredible young man has set his goals for the future, and is an inspiration to everyone. Dylan's motto: "I would like everyone with a disability to be able to play sports." We are all proud to be a part of his dream.

It was my honor to volunteer and photograph the benefit for Dylan and his family. My daughter Kimberly is close friends with Kylie, Dylan's younger sister. Kylie is a gifted dancer and she is a member of Mariann's dance school. Kylie preformed in many of the sets.

I hope everyone enjoys these photos, and I wish Dylan the very best in all of his endeavors.
