First of all, I want to say thank you to Vancouver for showing up and turning out! Because of you, this crazy idea worked. The silent auction was a hit (thank you to all of our donors, especially Western Water and Gas Products who donated $1,000 and a Napoleon BBQ), and our live art auction featuring three pieces by Lauren Taylor was off the chang! Lauren is an amazing talent and friend; she donated 50% of the proceeds to PSBC.
I want to thank the Imperial, for hooking us up with a Friday night at an unreal rate in the name of a good cause. I want to thank all of the volunteers, namely the MUSICIANS that volunteered their time and talent to bring us all together – this was kind of a DREAM bill to be a part of… Vancouver’s got souull mann!
BIG UPS to
One Two Productions
who ran a social media campaign for this event and also covered the entire show. Made up of two wonderful humans who do fantastic work – these are their photos; you guys are the tits.
I want to thank
Roundhouse Radio
for interviewing myself, my dad and Joan Copeland from PSBC to spread awareness about this disease and the word on the fundraiser. Thank you to
Vancity Buzz
&
HelloVancity
for the shout outs. Special thanks to Kim Bowie for putting us on the map! MOST OF ALL, I want to thank my sister, Kate Chambers, for doing this with me, my mom for her constant support, and of course my dad, for the daily inspiration. I love you!
We are thinking about making this an annual event for Parkinson’s Disease! What do you think? Would you come out again? I would LOVE your feedback so next year is EVEN BETTER!
