HAPPY EARTH DAY! 🌎 Being kind to Mother Earth

HAPPY EARTH DAY! 🌎

Being kind to Mother Earth is just as important as being to kind to ourselves, one another, and our communities. In the past year, perhaps more than ever before, we have learned the importance of being outside and enjoying nature. There are so many things we can all be doing in our day-to-day lives to reduce, reuse, recycle, and help restore this beautiful planet.

We would like to also acknowledge that the land on which we reside is the Treaty 7 territory and the traditional territory of the Niitsitapi (Blackfoot), Nakoda (Stoney), and Tsuut'ina. We honour the Aboriginal people and their traditional ways of knowing and caring for this land.

Tell us - where’s your favourite place to get outside and enjoy nature? And how do you show kindness to earth and your environments in your daily life?

Wonder of Women

Artist statement: "This may be my favourite drawing to date. I love women. I love our strength, passion, softness, and emotion, as well as the many other adjectives that describe the many facets of us. I thank all of the women who have loved, believed and supported me."

'Wonder of Women' was Logan's contribution to our 2021 Galentine's Day event. We had such a great response to this work that Logan has so generously allowed us to sell the print as a digital download, with proceeds being split 50/50 between Logan and the GirlGang Kindness Fostering Community Fund. We can't thank Logan enough for her generous support of our work from the very beginning!

We are so grateful for the group of women who joined us and @paigecrozon for Be Kind // Be Strong last weekend! They showed up, encouraged each other to move their bodies, and helped us raise $200 for the @streetsalivemission Genesis Women’s Ministry.

Thank you for leading us in such an exceptional workout Paige! We can’t wait for the next one! 💪🏻

In honour of Women's History Month and International Women's Day yesterday, GirlGang Kindness is thrilled to be partnering with Paige Crozon to offer Be Kind // Be Strong: a by-donation virtual workout for all ages and skill levels. Proceeds from this virtual event will be donated to the @streetsalivemission Genesis Women's Ministry - a multi-tiered program assisting vulnerable women who want to recover their lives. ⁣
⁣
We'll enjoy a full-body workout followed by virtual connection - an opportunity to have a coffee, breathe deeply, take some time for yourself, visit with others, and access the shared sense of community that we all have been missing. Bring your kids, bring your dogs, set yourself up outside, or on your kitchen floor - whatever you need to be able to access some time for YOU!⁣

Paige Crozon is an Assistant Coach of the @ulethbridge @hornswbb Women's Basketball Team; Manager of the Living Skies Indigenous Basketball League; Coach at Orange Theory Fitness; Team Canada 3 x 3 Basketball Member; and Certified Group Fitness Instructor. She's also a single mother to a beautiful little girl, an honorary GirlGang member, sister to our very own @taylorcrozon , and has been leading weekly virtual workouts for us since September. Paige is the epitome of female strength, and we are so thrilled to share her, and this sacred space, with all of you! ⁣

Thank you, once again, to our amazing community. You stepped up BIG TIME to raise funds, awareness, and hope for an organization that desperately needs our help. ⁣⁣⁣

Through your generous bidding and your amazing cash donations, we are honored to give $2500 to the @ywcalethbridge . It costs the YWCA an extra $50, on top of government funding, to house one woman for one night at Harbour House. This money can support 50 nights for women and children fleeing domestic violence. Alternatively, it costs the YWCA $650 to provide one sexual assault kit through Amethyst Project. This money can support almost 4 kits. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Plain and simple, we are speechless. ⁣This would not have been possible without the generosity of the artists and makers who donated incredible works to be auctioned off. Much gratitude and thanks to: ⁣⁣⁣

Our Galentine’s Day auction is officially CLOSED

Our Galentine’s Day auction is officially CLOSED! Thank you for bidding!

We miss the energy that comes with our usual fundraising events, but we are thrilled to work with our amazing community and some generous artists to still raise funds for @ywcalethbridge Harbour House and Amethyst Project.

If you aren’t able to get the item that you want, you can still donate to this event and cause through our auction site, or by visiting the @ywcalethbridge page and selecting “Galentine’s Day Fundraiser” for your contribution.

Thank you for the support - be kind, stay warm, and bid well this weekend!

WHY $50?

You'll notice every item has a minimum bid of $50. WHY $50? It costs the @ywcalethbridge an extra $50, on top of government funding, to house one woman for one night at Harbour House. We are so appreciative to the artists who donated a work to this event, knowing that at minimum, every work sold will cover the cost of one night for a woman staying at Harbour House.

SAVE THE DATE for our 4th annual Galentine’s Day

SAVE THE DATE for our 4th annual Galentine’s Day event in support of the @ywcalethbridge February 12-14.⁣
⁣
We thought a lot about what Galentine's Day would look like this year. To be completely honest, we weren't sure what to do. We, like you, are tired. We’re feeling the heaviness of the state of the world and we know our community is struggling. After multiple (virtual) meetings, we decided this is the time to keep forging ahead, to keep fighting for what we believe in, to keep supporting our community!⁣
⁣
Join us online from February 12-14 to bid on one-of-a-kind artwork donated by some dear friends, who never cease to amaze us when it comes to supporting their community. All funds raised will be donated to the @ywcalethbridge Harbour House and the Amethyst Project to continue the good work they are doing in Lethbridge.⁣
⁣
Keep your eyes peeled over the next few weeks as we share more details and sneak peeks of the artwork up for grabs. Get ready to start bidding on February 12-14! ⁣
