"We are thrilled so many musicians and Studio XII are coming together for the Imagine No Bullying Concert in Saskatoon," said Norm Jakubowski, Provincial Respect ED Lead for the Red Cross. "Last year the Red Cross in Saskatchewan taught over 19,000 youth how to prevent and deal with bullying behaviour. The proceeds from this concert will help us increase that reach."
"We wanted to start raising awareness for an issue that I believe affects everyone throughouttheir life,” said Micheal Lander, Founder and President of Studio XII. “Standing up against bullying is especially important because of the young people we teach. Our students give us the inspiration to support a cause like this and bring more attention to it, right in our community.”
Organizers are pleased to announce they are partnering with PotashCorp, CBC and SaskMusic. The Imagine No Bullying concert will cap off the annual Red Cross Day of Pink that will see schools and businesses across the province stand up against bullying.
Tickets for the concert are $20. Available at The Broadway Theatre, McNally Robinson and picatic.com/imaginenobullying.
