Saturday February 21st is Fight Night. A fundraiser in support of Intersections Media!

On February 21, 2015 Contenders Boxing and Promosa Management will be holding a boxing fundraising event at The Imperial (at 319 Main Street) http://imperialvancouver.com/ with 100% of the proceeds being donated to Intersections Media Opportunities for Youth Society. http://www.intersectionsmedia.com/

Intersections is a non-profit charitable organization founded by the late William Vince(“Bill”), an Oscar-nominated Vancouver filmmaker and advocate for youth at risk. It offers 'employability' and life skills workshops and work experience opportunity to youth facing multiple barriers to employment. 

I am pleased to help promote this event since my daughter Claire works with this most worthwhile organization.

Through the unique and familiar medium of art and digital filmmaking as well as involvement in group-based projects, the program participants gain the experience and confidence for long-term attachment to the workforce. In 2013 over 86% of participants become employed or pursued further education.

This is the second annual “Fight Night” in support of this program and the organizers hope you will consider supporting Intersections by attending what I am sure will be a fascinating event. Tickets are $35. Ringside tickets are $65 To purchase
