Hi Steve,

I am wondering if you could forward this request on to ALL your mailing lists... we seem to be having a hard time giving away money again this year!

For the past few years I have been involved in an initiative called the Jim Fay Music Bursary. Named for a musician friend who passed away in 2008, the Bursary was instigated in Jim's honour to support "at-risk" youth in Toronto who want to pursue their own musical dreams. (For all the details, visit www.JimFayMusicBursary.ca).

Here's the thing... We have money to award, but this year we have a shortage of applicants! The application deadline is 1 Nov (which might have to be extended).

So... Please help me to spread the word! If you know anyone 16-24 years old, living in the GTA who is musically inclined but financially challenged, and who is (or once was) benefitting from the the support of any youth support services provider, then PLEASE let them know. They can find all they need to know by visiting the website.

Thank you!!
Heather
