Exciting Vancouver Timeraiser WestJet Contest with Miss604
We have Big News. The Vancouver Timeraiser is September 23rd, and the city is buzzing about the event. Today is a very exciting day, since we get to announce that thanks to WestJet, our friend Miss604.com is giving away a pair of tickets ANYWHERE WestJet flies! The tickets will be awarded to one lucky person who comments on the Miss604.com Timeraiser post about something that inspires you. Comments can include your favourite non-profit organization, your best volunteer experience, what it means to be involved in the community, why giving your time is important etc. Full contest rules and regulations can be viewed here.
The Miss604.com Timeraiser/WestJet contest runs until September 22nd 2010. Did we mention she’s giving away a pair of tickets ANYWHERE WestJet flies?! This is your chance to get thinking about volunteerism in Vancouver, participate with your local web community, and potentially win a fabulous prize. Thanks to Rebecca for hosting the awesome contest and helping us to get the word out on the Vancouver Timeraiser.
The fall Timeraiser season is now in full swing with the upcoming Vancouver Timeraiser on September 23rd 2010 (two weeks tomorrow!) Tickets are available here. Don’t miss out on a great opportunity to support local artists and learn more about volunteer opportunities with some stellar non-profit agencies in the city. See you at the Timeraiser.

Timeraiser decorates your office!
Wondering what happens to all that funky Toronto artwork while you are completing your volunteer pledge for the year? Well the secret is out! It goes on display in our corporate partners’ offices, such as the second floor marketing and sales department at Molson Coors’ office at 33 Carlingview Drive. As one of our national corporate partners Molson Coors’ helps us invest directly in the careers of emerging artists. Since 2004 we have invested $389,000 in the careers of Canadian artists. To showcase our appreciation for Molson Coors’ support we decorate their office walls with our unique Timeraiser artwork. This just shows another way how Timeraiser is a win, win, win situation for everyone involved. For every dollar it costs us to host a Timeraiser, two dollars of social good are delivered back to the community through volunteerism and investment in the careers of Canadian artists.

Not to suggest that it’s coming to an end, but the summer’s been a good one! So let’s not say goodbye to summer just yet (I personally have a few more beach BBQs planned and swims at 2nd Beach!), but perhaps let’s focus on the things that will ease the transition from summer to fall. I’m biased, but fall means one exciting thing in particular to me: the Vancouver Timeraiser is just around the corner!
