Clicks for a Cause was created by Wendy Hacker to raise awareness of Cystic Fibrosis and Rare Diseases, raise money for non-profits and individuals needing support and provide professional photography to support their mission.

Clicks for a Cause helped raise over $25,000 for Western Pennsylvania Non-Profits and individuals and provided tens of thousands of cherished photographs before her hidden Lyme Disease and Covid caused her to almost lose everything.

Our Family honors April Lynn, and her strength and courage to battle for almost 25 years, through our giving back and sharing our story. We dedicated a page in our Boutique to April's Artwork. Our family is honored her artwork and story can inspire others.

Here are some highlights of Clicks for a Cause

We just loved the energy at 5Ks and non-profit events! We all have the same mission. We want our family and loved ones to live long beautiful healthy lives. Enjoy looking back at some of our favorite moments!

Special Project with Arthritis Foundation of Pittsburgh

Portrait Studio

As a District Manager for Lifetouch Portrait Studio, I entered the companies photography competition and this image of my sister-in-law, April, was selected to be part of the National Target marketing campaign. April was an artist and this image showcases a painting she made for her mother from a childhood photo.

As a young women, I dreamed to move to Pittsburgh and be a Professional Sports Photographer. Meeting Tunch Ilkin and Craig Wolfley was an amazing experience. Tunch died in 2022 from a battle with ALS at age 63.

I am not sure I have to say much about this photo of me and Pittsburgh Steeler Brett Keisel. He is such a kind man and his work to support Cystic Fibrosis is appreciated by my family personally as we lost my sister-in-law, April, to Cystic Fibrosis 1/25/10.

Commercial Photographer

I had the pleasure to meet Charlie Batch at several events. This was at an event I was hired to photograph for Giant Eagle at the Pittsburgh convention center. Charlie was speaking about Nutrition to kids. I had no idea I would end up a Functional Nutrition Expert.

Pittsburgh Steelers

Being published on Steelers.com was a dream come true. I had envisioned it being an award winning action photo but this photo of amazing Steeler Player Hall of Fame players with their children giving back to their community was pretty more than I had dreamed..

65 Roses Sports Auction

Me and my Team photographed the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation 65 Roses Sports Auction for 3 years. Brett Keisel and Cameron Heyward, Steelers’ Walter Payton Man of the Year winner and the other Pittsburgh Steelers Players have truly made a difference in their communities. This photo is published on both of their websites.

Women of Southwest Pennsylvania

I had the pleasure of being published in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazzette for photographing the Symphony of Food event. I got to try some amazing food and meet amazing people. I had met Sally Wiggins at several Pittsburgh Non-profit events. Sally and the rest of the Women of Soutwest Pennsylvania are a beautiful and inspiring.
