Thanks to all of you who came out and helped for our fundraising weekend, here’s a quick synopsis of the events…

Victoria - April 3rd, was a huge success. The Keytar Warrior started off an awsome show to a crowd of around 70 people, followed by the Virgin Space Cadets finishing with DJ Longshanks. The night pulled in over $1800.00 towards our efforts

Squamish - April 4th, poker night was wonderfully organized by Brandon Biln and Cassidy Bast, the final upstairs showdown came down to Marion Biln (the host of the venue) and Dan Budgell (founder of GPN), with Marion cleaning up after the last hand. All table winners donated their winnings back to the charity. The night ended with a total of $650.00 raised for charity.

Vancouver - April 5th, a classic dinner event, held at Chai and organized by Zara, Dan and friends. A truly unique experience filled with middle eastern food and music and full of good friends. This evening pulled in over $600.00 for Global Peace Network.

So, we’re off to a great start! Thank you to all who where there in person or in spirit, and especially those who helped with the events. We’ll let you know when the next good times will be! For now it’s back to preparatios and training for the trip, and gathering pledges and donations.

Keep an eye on the site, as Dan will be sending photo updates as to how some of the money is already being used!
