Pandora's Collective: A Night for Giving: A Poetry Reading and Fundraiser

The Fundraiser.
Since 2006 Pandora’s Collective has run a fundraiser for the youth and their families in need from Musqueam over the holiday season. That is nearly 20 years. For over 10 years Executive Director Dr. Bonnie Nish worked with Mary Roberts to make this happen. Sadly in 2016 Mary passed away. Mary was an Auntie to all the children she supported through her work and in her community. It is an honour to now be working with her granddaughter Jocelyn to make this happen. Mary would be so proud of her. .

From Jocelyn “ The families on the list truly appreciate everything they receive, and I am always forever grateful for what you and Grandma Mary have started and continued over all these years.”

Thank you to this community for the incredible support you have shown over the years. Together, you have helped ensure that countless children experience a joyful Christmas they might not otherwise have had. We are hopeful that—with your generosity—we can make that happen again this year.

We are excited to be returning with a wonderful lineup of poets who will be sharing their time, talent, and words. Please join us with open hearts—and be ready to have yours touched in return. We are grateful to Mountain View Cemetery for the use of their beautiful Celebration Hall.

This year we are gratefully accepting both cash and gift donations, all of which go directly to the families we serve. If you would like to contribute a new unwrapped gift, please see the list below. A donation box will also be located at the entrance for convenience.
