What a wonderful night!

Thank you to everyone who joined us, along with the hilarious and talented Ed Bain from the Q Morning Show and CHEK news for this fun and elegant evening. Together we were able to raise more than $12,000 for homeless youth through the Out of the Rain Youth Shelter!

Out of the Rain Youth Shelter provides warm, safe shelter and a hot meal for homeless youth in Victoria. This program can be the difference between life on the street and a path back to a place where youth can reach their full potential. It provides an opportunity to connect with people and services that can help. Find out more about Out of the Rain at: http://www.outoftherainvictoria.ca/.

Special thanks to:

Ed Bain for generously donating his time and talent as MC and Auctioneer. Ed is a genuinely thoughtful person who gives countless hours of his own time to help organizations in our community raise money and have a great time doing it. Yes, he is as funny in person as he is on the radio!

The very talented "Myles Thomson Trio" whose smooth jazz stylings provided the perfect soundtrack for the evening.

Our Beacon Community Services Staff and Volunteers: Sandra Russell, Heather Krawchuk, Jennifer Wear, Glenys Cavers, Judy Wiggins, Kathy Mason, Mari Green and Wanda Chawrun whose pleasant professionalism, organization skills and patience made the evening go smoothly!
