The Alberta Browncoats Society has decided to take their support of the Edmonton Youth Emergency Shelter Society (YESS) out of the comfort of the movie theatre and into TELUS field. Just a few short weeks before our Can’t Stop the Serenity fundraiser event, we’ll be participating in the Homeless for a Night event presented by the Canadian Western Bank.  

Word on the cortex is that it’s going to be an experience of a lifetime.  

As Browncoats, we’ve committed to “doing good in unexpected ways” and pledge our time, support, and lots of shiny cashy monies to organizations that focus on improving the lives of women and children world wide.  

So, on June 1st, we’ve committed to stepping outside of our comfort zone and will “aim to misbehave” once again. 

Long before that one night, our team banded together and set our fundraising goals high in order to challenge ourselves, but we would love to exceed this amount. Once we fulfill our fundraising goal, for one night, we will all venture outside of our comfort zones and become “homeless” at TELUS Field. That night we will hear some of the stories of the clients at YESS, we will gain more knowledge about homelessness and the youth that are in crisis in our community. Every dollar we raise goes towards YESS programs.

Help us shatter our fundraising goal by skipping one morning coffee this week & donating the cost to our team. $2 can make a difference! Make your pledge at http://www.gifttool.com/athon/OurTeamPage?ID=1312&AID=1880&TID=12122

Of course, donations over $10 come with a shiny Revenue Canada tax receipt.

And a huge thank you to everyone who has already supported our team. You help make the lives of teen’s shinier.
