Songs for Sanctuary (for Kids)!
Thanks to everyone who supported the June 2011 Songs for Sanctuary for Kids. Thanks to your generosity, we raised $1200 US for the charity. Our next event will be in spring/summer 2012. Stay tuned for details! Songs for Sanctuary for Kids is a concert/cabaret series in which wonderful musical theater performers donate their voices and other talents to raise money for Sanctuary for Kids.Sanctuary for Kids is a Vancouver, BC based charity aiding children in crisis around the world. Some of their current projects include funding a house, "Sanctuary House," at the Nepal Orphans Home in Kathmandu which provides food, shelter, education and family to girls who have been orphaned and/or trafficked during Nepal's long civil war. They are also working with Asha Nepal and Next Generation Nepal to provide safe haven for children and families. In other regions, Sanctuary for Kids is working with Save the Children to provide aid to children in crisis in Haiti and Pakistan. At home, Sanctuary for Kids is working with the local, Vancouver, charity Watari, which aids homeless teens and provides them with the means to live safely as well as training for work, parenting, and helping them complete their education.
Sanctuary for Kids was founded by Amanda Tapping, Damian Kindler, and Jill Bodie in an effort to give something back to society after being gifted with tremendous success in the world of science fiction television, most recently the show, Sanctuary. The safety and well-being of children is a major passion of all three, and with the enormously networked sci-fi community, they were able to start this grass-roots charity and turn it into something very special. Please visit their website: www.sanctuaryforkids.org to learn more about this unique organization.
Special thanks to Jill Bodie for being so supportive of our efforts on their behalf. And more thanks to my wonderfully talented friends Liz Asti, Jimmy Blackman, Sandi DeGeorge, Greg Etling, David Gordon, and Bryan Wade for your generous donations of your voices and fingers for this special event. Extra special thanks to Sanna Sarling for her beautiful Songs for S4K logo and the graphic design she did for us!
