Meet Madison!



Everyone meet Madison!  Madison is a co-founder of Benevolenza Fundraising.  She is currently a freshman at Xavier University in Cincinnati, Ohio and is studying advertising and graphic design.  Madison likes to get creative when it comes to designing and planning.  With this special talent Madison enjoys designing the advertisements for the events and getting artsy in anything she can!  Her creative eye always leads to a new idea for an event, even just a tweak in table set up!
Madison's first fundraising idea started Benevolenza Fundraising.  During her junior year Madison and Kennedy were both enrolled in a Management and Entrepreneurship class at their high school, Gilmour Academy.  Madison approached Kennedy with an idea to sell student art to raise money for Project Hope for the Homeless.  After the combined efforts and talents of both Madison and Kennedy they debuted their company in a dazzling way!  Their first event happen spring of 2012 named, Art for Hope and Help.  The event benefitted Project Hope for the Homeless and Fieldstone Farms Therapeutic Riding Center.  The first fundraiser was a success raising over $7,000 for the charities!  Thrilled with their accomplishments Madison and Kennedy decided to start planning events for non-profits!



Anyone who knows Madison could tell you that her number one passion is photography.  She started getting into the hobby when she was a freshman in high school, and the passion has escalated from there.  She has been recognized both regionally and state wide for her work.  Through this hobby Madison has become skilled with Adobe products, as she uses them to enhance her photographs.  Constantly looking at things through a camera has changed her perspective on many things.  When looking for the right framing, depth, focus and everything else that comes along with a camera Madison has been able to change her perspective on the world around her.  Who knows! Maybe her photography was what lead her to doing good works around Cleveland!


One fun fact about Madison?  Some may know and some may not... But Madison is obsessed with the Minions from the movie Despicable Me. I mean... Who couldn't love one of these cute guys?!
