Fundaising during the Fall 2011 Term

We had an amazing term!

This semester there were two fundraising

The first was a donation of $60 to the Slave Lake Library to assist with rebuilding.

Our second fundraising effort was for the London Public Library's "A Book for Every Child"

We raised a total of $230 for the charity through bakesales, button sales and our wonderful raffle.

Thank you to everyone who helped out!

Thank you message from the Iola Foundation

During the Summer 2011 semester money was raised to donate a book for GBLT youth for a local high school via the "It Gets Better" Project.

Recently we revieved a wonderful thank you message from the Iola Foundation:

Subject: Thank you
CLA-UWO,

Thank you for taking part in our book donation program by making a generous contribution of $$30.00 to the Iola Foundation made in support of the It Gets Better Project. Your book will be shipped w/in a few weeks to the address designated.

We appreciate the support from so many people like you who want to put an end to anti-LGBT bullying.

More than 30,000 unique positive messages have been recorded to show young LGBT people the possibility of a better tomorrow, if they just believe that it will get better.  With your donation, we are able to continue to share these messages of hope and the potential for a bright future with LGBT youth.

The It Gets Better Project will continue to thrive and reach LGBT youth as long as people continue to talk about the Project and share their stories. If you haven’t already done so, please record a video message or submit your written story of how your life got better. Let young LGBT people know how life has gotten better for you.

Share the It Gets Better Project with your friends and family by letting them know that www.itgetsbetter.org is a great place to watch videos and learn about how people are making it better every day for LGBT youth.

Sincerely,

Brian Pines
Treasurer
Iola Foundation

Thank you to everyone who donated.
