VANCOUVER MUSIC INDUSTRY THIRD ANNUAL GALA AND GOLF EVENT 2008

Gala Tuesday 29th July, 2008 6.00pm at The Canvas Lounge, 99 Powell Street. (Valet Parking available)

IN SUPPORT OF THE SARAH MCLACHLAN FOUNDATION

The Vancouver Music Industry (VMI) is pleased to announce its third annual Gala and Golf Event. This two-day event is organized by individuals who are involved in the local music scene and provides funds for several charitable organizations including the Sarah McLachlan Foundation.

The Gala will take place on Tuesday July 29, 2008 at the Canvas Lounge in Vancouver. This evening will be hosted by Terry David Mulligan and again feature the Bruce Allen/Sam Feldman Legend Award presented to an individual who has significantly contributed to the local music industry for many years. Several local artists will perform live in this intimate setting and the evening will include both a silent and live auction.

On Wednesday July 30, 2008 The VMI will host a golf tournament at the University Golf Club. This tournament is always well attended by many members of the local music industry.

Last year this two day event raised over $50,000 for the Sarah McLachlan Foundation. With such auction items this year as a signed Avril Lavigne guitar, an Alanis Morissette acoustic guitar and a signed telecaster from Rock n’ Roll Hall of Famer Bruce Springsteen; the VMI hopes to surpass last year's contribution.

“This was a great event last year that allowed us to raise money for a good cause,” said Jeff Dawson, VMI founder. “Our team of volunteers are very excited to come together again to support the local music scene and look forward to another successful event in 2008.”
