We hope you will join us for
Boobapalooza 2014!
A Dancers for Cancer Fundraiser at The Byrd Pub
A Dancers for Cancer Fundraiser at The Byrd Pub
SURREY, BC: On Sunday August 3rd, from 3 to 11 p.m., dancers
will donate shows at the Byrd Pub, 10768 King George Blvd, Surrey to fundraise
for the children of a former colleague who died of cancer in 2008. Before she
passed away, Twyla Newton was a waitress at the Cecil Hotel for nearly 20
years. She also made and sold costumes to exotic dancers in the community.
When she died, her children found themselves at the mercy of
family, friends, and the foster care system during a crucial and vulnerable
time in their lives, as they were coming into the teen years and early
adulthood.
"We've been able to help in a small but ongoing way
over the past six years," explains Trina Ricketts, founder of the annual
event. "By funding piano lessons, musical equipment, computers, graduation
clothes and things like that, we have been able to support their passions and
provide opportunities for growth."
The event is run through the volunteer efforts of
NakedTruth.ca - an information and support network of adult entertainers and
friends. Although Boobapalooza was started by exotic dancers, it has become an
event that welcomes performers from all styles of dance. "Clothing removal
is appreciated but not required," says Ricketts.
Ironically, Ricketts sadly lost her father to lung cancer on
June 17, during the planning of this year's fundraiser. "My dad had every
t-shirt from every Naked Truth event," Ricketts shared. "He never
made me feel bad for being a stripper. In my heart, I'm dedicating this event
to him."
Boobapalooza will feature continuous, live entertainment,
door prizes, a silent auction, photo booth, and more. Entry is by donation.
Anyone interested in donating a performance or a silent auction item, is
invited to contact jenh@nakedtruth.ca.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE A SPONSOR?
100% Proceeds to Local Children Orphaned by Cancer
The celebration will feature continuous entertainment,
door prizes, photo booth, silent auction, and more. We are thrilled
to announce that award-winner for Best Floor Show in the TNT Awards two years
running, Exotic Dancer Charlie, will be emceeing the fundraiser.
Funds raised will be going to the children of a woman who
passed away from cancer. She worked with exotic dancers as a costumer designer
and server in one of the Vancouver clubs. Her children have been recipients of
our fundraisers in the past and we are proud to continue to offer them what
little financial support we can as they are raised by their foster parents and
become adults.
Would you like to donate an item to our silent auction? Some
ideas for donations include products or services, themed gift baskets, tickets
to events, restaurant and hotel gift certificates, and vacation packages.
In return for your sponsorship, we will put a thank you on
our website at NakedTruth.ca and thank you publicly during the event. Your
company name will also be highlighted above the description of the auction item
you donate so that guests will have repeat exposure to your company’s goodwill
and generosity.
We welcome smaller items for door prizes too. And you are
invited to include a coupon or small give-away in each of the gift bags we hand
out to guests as they arrive (approximately 200 gift bags will be provided).
Include your business card or company info with the give-away to entice new
customers and let them know where to find you.
Our events get good media coverage and great turnout. The
Georgia Straight is our media sponsor. This is a worthwhile opportunity for you
to promote your brand.
Thank you very much for your consideration. Please feel free
to contact me if you have any questions or would like to contribute.
Your participation is valued and your generosity
appreciated.
Sincerely,
Trina Ricketts
