Thank U.
Now that the dust has settled,
we want to send a heartfelt “Thank U”
to everyone who made Purple Sunshine possible.
Together we raised over $2,100 to be directly donated to Sunshine House,
in support of their harm reduction work right here in Winnipeg!
Much love to our team:
Guests:
Jay Boogie,
rampage!,
and Hari Vijaijay.
The staff at Little Brown Jug,
who went above and beyond
in supporting this event,
and also donated 20% of the bar sales to Sunshine House!
Community sponsors:
G Is For Glasses,
who donated money to pay performers
so that more of the ticket sales would go to
Sunshine House;
UMFM 101.5 fm
for helping us get the word out.
Pip Skid for the incredible art we used this year.
The good people at Sunshine House,
