Over & Above Yoga - Update!

UPDATE!  We raised $440 for the Vancouver Writers Exchange Society, including our fund matching. A huge thanks to those who supported this event!

Join us for an Over & Above  yoga class led by Joanne Shih (JJ Bean Employee & Yoga Instructor) at Brave Brewing on Sunday September 22, 2024 at 10am. All proceeds from this Over & Above event will be donated to Vancouver Writers’ Exchange.

$20 minimum donation includes yoga class plus vouchers for JJ Bean and other local businesses. Space is very limited so get your tickets at Suter Brook or Sunwood Square before we sell out!
 
The Vancouver Writer's Exchange is a community that supports under-resourced kids and youth to build their confidence and get excited about reading, writing and their own potential. Their vision is that all kids will grow up with the power to make their own choices, achieve anything and be happy. Writer’s Exchange runs free in-school, after-school, and summer programs for over 200 kids each year, which could not exist without the help of amazing volunteers and generous donors.

One of our staff, Robyn, volunteers with this organization and shared about her experience: "I have volunteered weekly with Writer’s Exchange in an after school program since last October. In addition to building confidence through reading and writing activities, the program is also a safe and welcoming space for kids to eat snacks, connect with a positive role model, relax, have fun, and be silly. Over the school year, some of the changes I personally saw in the kids were volunteering to read aloud, sharing their work with both volunteers and other kids, and being more willing to try new things. The kids looked forward to Wednesdays every week, and so did I."

See you down there, Updogs!
