TD Waterhouse Private Investment Advice to host Gala for second year
This gala event will kick-off or "30 days for 30 nights" campaign which aims to raise enough money to cover the cost of running our shelter for the entire month of December; this year's goal is $279,000.
You will enjoy cocktails and hors d'oeuvres, amazing silent and live auction items and fabulous raffle prizes. Last year this event raised over $80,000 to help cover the day-to-day operations of our 54 bed crisis shelter for our busiest month of the year.
Please join etalk Daily and laineygossip.com's Elaine Lui, Master of Ceremonies, on November 26, 2009 from 5:00-8:00pm at Birks Vancouver. You can truly make a difference in the lives of homeless youth.
Contact Shelley Holmes at 604-482-5131, or Shelley.Holmes@td.com for tickets.
Tickets are $75.00 each.
To explore sponsorship opportunities or to donate an auction item, please contact Adil H. Chagani at 604-482-2425, or Adil.Chagani@td.com.

You all are doing great work, will someone please contact me regarding this event?~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I am sharing with you this sad song I wrote because I am glad you save people from a life like this......~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ORvygYGrvs~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~... Closing time theres no where else to go everybody is curious but no one lets it show closing time no more drinks for free everyone's gone home now and its only me I thought I saw a shelter in the alley maybe theres a blanket in the bin if I had a quarter Id call Mamma not that it matters now because I don't know what part of town I'm in Mama cried when I said I had to leave poor delusioned Mama she just can't believe someone lied and I know it wasn't me something isn't right here beneath this family tree Guess I've got to make it on my own now I look pretty old for just 16 If I had a quarter I'd call Mamma just to say I love her and Im happy because I am finally free City lights keep all the ghosts at bay no one asks me questions no one turns me away spend my nights with 'friends" that I have made they give me protection and a place to stay Guess its not so different from my home now at least I make a dollar for my time when I have a quarter I call momma just to I can tell her that just like her I live a lie.
