Flipside: DOXA's Annual Fundraiser
Silent Auction Sneak Peek #2
Only two more days until our Flipside Fundraiser! Thanks to our donors and festival supporters,  there will be an impressive array of items to bid on at this year's fundraiser. Here's another taste of what we've got to offer:  

Two weekend passes - courtesy of Vancouver Folk Music Festival  ($380 value)

The Vancouver Folk Music Festival is a Canadian cultural institution - a unique community-based celebration with an internationally-renowned reputation for presenting the finest traditional and contemporary folk and roots music artists from around the world. Now in its 39th year, it continues to be one of the city's most beloved, enjoyed, and respected events.

Gift certificate for any presentation - courtesy of Coastal Jazz & Blues Society  ($100 value)

Our vision encompasses a wide spectrum of jazz, blues, world, creative, and improvised music, including evolving forms of jazz and the technologies and media that influence jazz as an art form.



Four adult day passes to Cypress Mountain - courtesy of The Georgia Straight ( $260 value)

Three mountains of fun: Mt. Strachan, Black Mountain, and Hollyburn Mountain! Cypress is only 30 minutes from downtown Vancouver and is proud to continue to provide our skiers, riders and sliders with the most vertical drop, most terrain, most lifts and best snow conditions on the highest skiing and riding peak of Vancouver's Legendary North Shore Mountains.

A variety of men's and women's jackets - courtesy of Mountain Equipment Coop ( $125-$265 value)

Add contemporary style to your outdoor wardrobe. The fully waterproof fabric offers moderate breathability to suit activities where your heart rate won't reach your training max. Taped seams keep wetness out, and an adjustable hood offers extra protection in case you leave your umbrella on the train. 

Don't forget to dress up! Punk, disco or a combo of both!  See you this Thursday December 1st!
