Hello all,
Thanks to everyone who came out last week, who purchased art, before or at the show, or just showed some support. For those who could not make it, hopefully we will see you next year. If you are still thinking about buying a piece, the updated catalogue is attached and the art is still for sale.
This year’s show was our best ever!
Thanks to our sponsors, we raised enough money to cover all of our costs for the evening, meaning that 100% of ticket sales and all proceeds from the art sales will go directly to sending kids to camp.
Art sales totalled over $76,000, which helped the Bursary raise over $44,000, which will go directly towards sending deserving children to camp next summer. Both of these totals considerably exceed our previous highs for the Art Show. In fact, last week's show was the single largest fund-raising event in the history of the Bursary Fund!
The Art Show is an important event for the Bursary. When you buy art, you not only help some kids have a great summer and experiences they wouldn’t otherwise have, but it also helps build leaders of tomorrow.
The Bursary Fund is growing and not simply through supporting an increasing number of deserving campers. We are also enhancing the camping community by infusing it with deserving campers from varied backgrounds. Campers who bring different life experiences and interests with them.
By providing summer experiences for a broader and more diverse group of campers, the Bursary is helping create the leaders of tomorrow and fostering stronger communities today. This community should be accessible to as many children as possible – to discover, grow, and thrive – as every child has something to offer.
The Bursary creates people like all of us who will give back and create better communities. We need to provide opportunities for these children to grow and prosper and make the world into a better place. And it all starts here.
So, thank you again. Have another look at the catalogue and buy some art, for you or for someone else. Make a difference today!
Cheers,
