Event Information
Description
Real Men Real Makeup celebrates its third annual Real Men Real Makeup Amateur Drag Show to help benefit and raise awareness for impoverished communities both locally and internationally. All proceeds will be donated to help local and international grassroots initiatives. In the first three years of this event, Real Men Real Makeup has raised over $20,000, enabling access to education and food for families and children in need.
Our annual drag show brings together friends and associates willing to step out of their comfort zone in order to foster positive change within their community and globally. Each year the organization chooses two charities, one local and one international that they believe are driving change, to donate proceeds to
Real Men Real Makeup in the past has partnered up with organizations such as mysmallhelp.org, www.africayogaproject.org, www.cityreach.org who have all done great work around the world, as well as locally. We will be partnering with CityReach Care Society for a second year to offer a range of programs and activities focused on serving the tangible needs of our community. Proceeds from our event will be going to Food for Families, a weekly food bank at CityReach. It will also help fund a personal growth workshop, voted upon by the members of Real Men Real Makeup and City Reach. Internationally we will partner with Project Solution to help fund a revived a breakfast program in an impoverished town in Trelawny, Falmouth Jamaica. Project Solution, through donations, has been able to hire local cooks and still feed 500 underprivileged kids at Granville Primary School in Trelawny after government funding was cut.
With your help and support we can continue to benefit children, families and communities locally and around the world. You are invited to embrace our cause and join us for a fun night of laughs and entertainment. Invite your friends and associates and share this message
Organizer Jayden Grundy & Marc Andrew
Organizer of Real Men Real Makeup 3
Sunday Funday is an innovation in the event management industry. As a local, grassroots company, our mission is to inspire healthy social lifestyles in our community, through the promotion of one of a kind, customized events, guided tours and concierge services. Sunday Funday promises to deliver unique experiences for those who like to 'Work Hard, Play Hard', and appreciate a balanced lifestyle.
The Sunday Funday team is a diverse cross- section representative of our target demographic. We are an assembly of ages 25-40, who live by our motto “Work hard, Play hard!” As individuals we are known for motivating our friends to get off of their couches, out of their houses, and enjoying the activities we excel at organizing. As a group, our objective is to share this passion for play by expanding into communities in and around British Columbia.
In the short term, with the help of local and social media, (and some good old word of mouth!) we will plan events that combine healthy, physical activity with the ‘let loose’ weekend behavior young adults crave for their balanced lifestyle. Our long term vision will also include, but will not be limited to; wine, ski, surf, golf, boating and hiking tours. We intend to work closely with chosen sponsors from the fitness and hospitality industries. It is also important to us to give back to our community through charitable contributions.
