Hello everyone,
On behalf of the Bursary Fund, I wanted to thank everyone for helping make this year's art show our most successful to date.
The show took place on Thursday, November 3rd at the Storys Building in Toronto where we had over 250 works of art on display, created by over 35 Canadian artists. The night was filed with friends, food, drink, and art sales that will fund the Bursary for the summer of 2017.
We were also fortunate enough to hear from a mother and son who have been supported by the Bursary Fund for the past several years. They spoke about how the Bursary Fund has enhanced their lives and how, in turn, they have improved the camping community by bringing their experiences and interests to camp, enriching the experience for their new-found camp friends.
The Bursary Fund is growing and not just through supporting an increasing number of deserving campers. We are realizing the true impact that we are having; not only for the campers we sponsor, but on the broader camping community by diversifying the overall camping experience.
In addition to building stronger communities, the Bursary is helping build leaders of tomorrow. The life-changing power of summer camp develops self-confidence in our campers. It creates people who will give back to their communities. And we need to provide opportunities for these children to grow and prosper. For the world to become a better place, we need to embrace each other, regardless of our backgrounds. Adding Bursary kids to camp life does that.
Thank you to our sponsors: The TD Bank, The Taylor Statten Camps, Wanipitei, Camp Ouareau, Summerhill Optometry, KJ Harrison, and Brantford Industrial. And to supporters of the Bursary Fund, The Burry Family, Wise Advisory and Fidelity Investments.
At the end of the night, we raised just over $26,000 to send deserving children to summer camps across the country in 2017. Our goal is to match, or better yet, surpass the 55 campers and $110,000 from this past summer. Both of these numbers are double our historical averages.
Attached you will find the pdf of the work from the Art Show. Many works are still for sale, with proceeds going to Bursary. A perfect holiday gift.
Cheers,
Tim “Mouse” Welsh
