Dear Friends,
On December 3rd, 2009 Beauty Night Society is having its annual “All I want for Christmas” Fashion show featuring pin-up designs by Nancy Black. This is an invitation for you to participate in the fantabulous event. “Be a part of the cause, not a part of the problem”
“All I want for Christmas” brings forward collaboration between art, imagination and originality. The anticipated 200+ guests will experience an exquisite evening showcasing some of Vancouver’s most talented individuals. Guests get to check out pin-up fashions by Nancy Black, performances by Luscious Dance and Sexy in Vancity dancers, whilst raising funds for Beauty Night Society’s makeover and development programs for women and youth in the community. The main sources of income for the evening will be: ticket sales, silent auction items, raffle tickets, photos with Santa and corporate sponsors.

We are looking for help in three areas: 1) Sponsorship, 2) Silent auction items and 3) Monetary donations. 100% of the proceeds will go to Beauty Night Society.

It was founded in 2000 by Caroline McGillivray, and recently celebrated its 10,000th makeover. Beauty Night Society provides women and children with the tools to make positive lifestyle changes.

Blogathon

Dear Friends:

At 6am on Saturday, July 25, 2009, I will be posting a blog on
www.sexyinvancity.com every 30 minutes for 24 hours. Blogathon 2009
is an opportunity for bloggers to raise the profile and funds of
charities that are important to them.

Beauty Night Society is important to me. Beauty Night Society
provides marginalized women and youth the tools to make positive life
style changes. In 8.5 years, we have given over 10 000 makeovers.
Our Monday night makeover program in Vancouver has 10% of previous
participants volunteering.

By creating opportunities for our participants and our volunteers to
work together with other services providers, we are building strong
communities. Through Womyn’s Gym, the makeover program, group fitness
program, Chick Lit and many more programs, we have made a positive
impact in the lives of thousands of people.

As we work towards a model to duplicate our programs in other
communities around the world, we are focusing on raising funds to
continue to create opportunities to empower and strengthen our
participants, volunteers and sponsors. When we work together, we make
a huge difference.

If you are able to pledge a lump sum or an hourly pledge for my
blogging marathon, it would be greatly appreciated. Charitable tax
receipts will be given for donations of $10 or more. Thank you so much
in advance. Here is the link.
