VANCOUVER, BC, October 21, 2020 — Independent bookstore Massy Books returns with their annual fundraiser for Battered Women’s Support Services (BWSS) and Writers’ Exchange (WE), offering the chance to win up to $10,000! This 50/50 fundraiser has reasonable ticket prices and 100% of proceeds raised go to BWSS and WE, making supporting these two crucial organizations easy. Ticket bundle options allow you to increase your chances of winning, right in time for Christmas! Open to residents of British Columbia, 50% of proceeds go to a lucky winner (could it be you?), while the other 50% go directly into supporting victims of abuse and children’s literacy programs.
The Battered Women’s Support Services (BWSS) provides support to women experiencing gender-based violence, and their services are more important than ever during COVID-19 with increased stress and isolation resulting in increases in domestic abuse. BWSS run a crisis-line, counselling, victim services, legal advocacy, violence prevention, intervention volunteer training, and specific programs for Indigenous, Black, and Latin women.
The Writer’s Exchange in Vancouver provides literacy programs to over 700 kids every year, boosting their reading, writing and self-confidence. They help children get excited about their own potential through creative literacy programs including after-school and in-school programs. Their exciting projects build skills in social and dynamic ways, helping the upcoming generation become inspired and equipped to create meaningful change. During Covid-19, it’s important we put extra resources into supporting children’s emotional, social, and educational development. Every ticket purchase ensures we are doing just that.
Each of these registered Canadian charities work tirelessly with specific members of our communities and their work is unparalleled. Massy Books runs this fundraiser donating administrative and associated costs, with all raised proceeds going back into the community. Your ticket purchase enables BWSS to keep its crisis-line open, often the first point of contact for many women experiencing abuse. Your ticket purchase helps bring supplies into underfunded schools and after-school programs, giving kids the tools to share their imagination through writing.
