About 30 people were in the photo and got a total of 580 likes.
Craven entered the photo in the competition “To win $200 for my organization that could really use it.”
“The whole month we were way ahead of everyone else, until AOii posted one and just dominated the competition,” Craven said. “It was pretty devastating.”
