Because Dignity is Beautiful
“The above video was produced by 4 grade 10 students as part of a project with their planning class. The groups will be evaluated and if chosen will move on to a district wide competition that could win $5000.00 for their chosen Charity. As a mother of one of the producers…this has brought me an awareness of the amazing qualities of this charity and what it had done and with funding and volunteer support can continue to do for these beautiful woman…” – Mother of one of the Producers.
Just in time for Beauty Night’s 10-year Anniversary week, we’ve had lots of great media coverage! You can check out the many articles here, and we’ll be posting links to TV clips as we get them.
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY Beauty Night!
This morning, more than 80,000 copies of Vancouver Foundation’s Magazine were distributed through the Vancouver Sun. On pages 16 and 17 is an article about Beauty Night Society. We are thrilled with the article and wanted to share the link with you in case you haven’t seen it yet.
From the article: “[Beauty Night founder Caroline] MacGillivray has seen many women walk out of the program with an improved attitude and become motivated to take better care of their health at home. “Being able to create an environment where the women feel safe, where they feel good about who they are, I think that’s really empowering,” she says. “And when you feel good about yourself, you start believing anything is possible. To see people taking care of themselves, where they felt hat they’re worth taking care of, it’s really exciting and beautiful.”
Vancouver Foundation also created a video that is airing at Vancouver Fashion Week between the shows. We have a booth there this week if you would like to come by and say hello! Thank you for all of your support! Here is a sneak peek.
New Volunteer Database – please fill out our volunteer form!
Beauty Night Society is examining what we can do to streamline many of our operations. Volunteer management. currently takes up a lot of Caroline’s time, and presently everything is a paper copy – which means it’s time to update our system! To help us out with this, Stephanie Michelle from Wild Fire Effects has created a Google form that we’re asking all current volunteers to fill out. This will populate a database so that we can more easily keep track of who’s available when.
Although many of you have been volunteering for quite some time, can we nevertheless ask you to fill in our volunteer application form to update your name and contact information. In the ‘How did you hear about us’ section, we’d love a recap as to how you originally found out about us, as well as how long you’ve been volunteering. Please also tell us your current availability.
As you know, we would not exist without you! Volunteers are what keeps Beauty Night achieving its mission to build self esteem and change lives.
