CORNWALL, Ontario – TimeraiserX Cornwall has been described as a win-win-win. The goal of the event is to raise volunteer hours for local non-profit organizations, pay local artists and to give people the chance to buy high quality art with time, and not their money.
The event is taking place on Thursday, June 7 at 7 p.m. at Cailuan Gallery, 225 Pitt St. in downtown Cornwall.
As stated, the event is about raising volunteer hours, not money. Money from sponsors and ticket sales to the event are used to buy art from local artists. Attendees at TimeraiserX buy the art by bidding their volunteer hours to a local non-profit agency of their choice.
“The TimeraiserX Cornwall committee is very excited to host this event for the first time in Cornwall at Cailuan Gallery,” said Kelly Bergeron, one of the TimeraiserX organizers. “It’s a great opportunity to bring awareness to the artistic talent in our region and the amazing work that many of our community organizations do, all in the name of raising volunteer hours for these nonprofits and charities!”
A criticism often heard of some fundraisers is that it is not always certain where the money is going and if the non-profits really are getting the support they need. TimeraiserX makes it very clear where the money is going, to local artists, and the attendees themselves are the ones who are directly supporting local charities.
The TimeraiserX event itself is setup to be a great party. The event in Cornwall on June 7 will feature live entertainment, adult beverages, event photography by Bruce Davis, catering by Christian Barque and more.
Early bird tickets for the event are $30 (until June 1st) and are available at Caliuan Gallery or online at the following link: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/timeraiserx-cornwall-tickets-43624363646
