Next Thursday – June 10 – we are hosting the second annual ‘Give Money Make Change’ event to help raise funds to keep Remix alive.  Last year a lot of you were instrumental in helping this fantastic organization stay alive and we are hoping that you will indulge us one more time *winkie face*
Here’s a little refresher about Remix and the Give Money Make Change
The Remix Project is a successful four-year-old program that was orginally funded through a research and pilot grant by National Crime Prevention Canada (NCPC).  The program offers courses fostering arts, cultural and life skills and serves gifted but under-served and vulnerable young people from across the GTA.  As a result of its work, The Remix Project has helped keep a number of young people off the streets and has produced over 110 graduates that have been able to realize their creative and business potentials.
“I think one of the key reasons Remix has been so successful is that we really listen to and invest in, some of the most vulnerable but gifted young people in the GTA. One of the most reward things is to see our young people achieve dreams that they previously thought to be impossible” said Executive Director, Gavin Sheppard. ”Producing award-winning DJ’s, clothing lines, music composers and producers as well as photographers, graphic designers and budding journalists, The Remix Project is helping to mature and evolve the next generation of creative and civic leaders in this beautiful city named Toronto. That being said, we are in a really hard place this year financially and this amazing program that we pour ourselves into every day, is genuinely in danger of having to close it’s doors…â€
With a $100,000 goal, The Remix Project hopes its fundraising event will save the program.  GIVE MONEY, MAKE CHANGE (part 2) will be a multi-faceted event including photography and visual arts installations, performances, a silent auction and a pledge-driven dance
