Here it is… the video created by Carson Graham Secondary students used in their presentation that won $5000 for our cause. In their own words:
Youth And Philanthropy initiative bursary winning video on Beauty night Society’s wonderful services, accomplishments and mission. Beauty Nights, is a Vancouver based volunteer ran program that is designed for to give “live makeovers” for the woman of the Downtown East side of Vancouver that live in poverty.
It is with great pleasure that I write this post! Last night, the Carson Graham planning 10 students won $5000 for Beauty Night with their YPI (youth philanthropy initiative) presentation. Every year for planning 10, one of the projects is the Youth Philanthropy Initiative. Students chose a charity of their choice, research it, and do a presentation on behalf of the charity. The presentation selected wins $5000 to further their cause. We are thrilled that we were chosen!
This is the original video. Stay tuned for the one used for the final presentation! Huge thanks to Mersedeh Sagafi, Jasmine Price, Ryder Coker, and Terry-Dayne Marshall.
Who do you know who needs to unclutter their life and change the world? Since spring arrived late in Vancouver, it isn’t too late for spring cleaning. As you gather up clothes, books, house hold appliances to gear up for a garage sale, you can change your world and the world around you at the same time.
Rid yourself of clutter by selling it and donate the proceeds to Beauty Night. We will give you a tax receipt and use the money to build self esteem and change lives for women and youth living in poverty. Change you world & the world around you with one swoop. Don’t you just love win/win situations?
If you would like to have brochures about Beauty Night at your website, contact us at [email protected] subject line garage sale. Donations can be made on this site or via cheque. Thank you for spreading the word about our cause.
Thank you to ShawTV for highlighting some of our programming.
We are thrilled that Vancouver Foundation includes us in the vast array of projects they support.
