Funds Raised as of June 25th, 2013

Hi Guys!  Ashley here.  As promised, I have the latest figures from our fundraising progress!

In less than two months, we have managed to raise a whopping $875.00 already!  AMAZING!  You guys are ALL so amazing!  Thank you so much for your love and support.  We are at 15% of our goal already and we haven't even done any major fundraising events yet!

What we HAVE done so far, however, is collecting donations from our friends and family directly, done some yard work for a friend in exchange for a donation, and one very successful bottle drive.

Sean and I want to thank all of you who have contributed so far, in whichever way that may be; we are overwhelmed by the generosity of all of you.

Don't forget that this weekend (Saturday, June 29th) I will be hosting a Stella & Dot Jewelry Party at my house with 50% of the proceeds being donated to our fund!  If you're unable to make it but would still like to shop for this event, you can do so here; http://www.stelladot.com/ts/w7jq5

We also have our upcoming Concert & Silent Auction at Broken City in Calgary, AB on Wednesday, July 24th to look forward to!  More info to come on that, but mark your calendars!

Thanks again for your love and support.  We love you all SO much!

Fundraiser Announcement: Ashley Dempster LIVE at Broken City - July 24th

Hey friends!  Ashley here (again...I promise Sean will write someday!  But I'm the one who never sleeps ;) )

We have yet ANOTHER fundraiser to announce!!  On Wednesday, July 24th, 2013, we will be holding a big fundraiser concert at Broken City Social Club in Calgary.  Doors will open at 7, and the music will start at 7:30.  I will be performing, along with another act (TBA) and we will also have a silent auction with some really wicked items up for grabs.  As it's a Wednesday night, we're expecting to wrap it up fairly early (10pm) so that you guys can all go home and get some sleep before work the next day.  But your support would be HUGELY appreciated and we really hope to see you there!!

We won't be selling any advance tickets for this event.  Entrance will be by a minimum $10 donation at the door, and we will have a door prize as well.

If you are unable to make it to this event, but would still like to donate, please hit up our crowdfunding page at http://www.gofundme.com/ashleyandsean

If you're interested in listening to any of my music (if you haven't already) search Ashley Dempster on iTunes, or check out my youtube channel (ashleyconnie).  I will keep you guys posted on the other musicians I end up booking for this event, but I promise you; whoever they are, they will be amazing!!

Have a happy Friday everyone!  We love all of your beautiful faces!

Stella & Dot Fundraiser Party!

Hey guys!  It's Ashley writing to you on this rainy Monday morning.

I have officially launched our first real fundraiser!!  YAY!  And I am super excited about this one because it is something I am super passionate about...jewelry.

I have teamed up with a friend who is a stylist with Stella & Dot (http://www.stelladot.com) and she has offered to host a trunk show fundraiser for us, graciously donating 50% of her profits directly to our cause.  Amazing, right!?

The fundraiser will be held on Saturday, June 29th, at 7:30pm - 10:00pm at my house.  You're all welcome to come and bring a friend or two...there will be lots of treats to go around!

If you're not able to make it to the show, you can still shop online and contribute to our cause!  Visit the online web store event at http://www.stelladot.com/ts/w7jq5 to check it out.

As always, please let me know if you have any questions regarding this event :) I am super stoked!  Hope to see all of your beautiful faces there!
