On Thursday evening, Aug. 14, Kaylee McGrath co-organized a gallery of her photography work at Black-Eyed Susan’s Flowers & Plants in Barnegat Township. The purpose of the event was to raise money for the Lily’s Hope Foundation as its mission is to assist premature babies and their families with their unexpected needs.

The organization and its mission are very special to McGrath because she was born three months premature, weighing only 1 pound, 9 ounces.
