Zumbathon

When Shirley Pollak, Past President of Auberge Shalom, speaks of the work at our centre, people don’t only listen, they are moved. And some, like Shirley’s super Zumba instructor, Jenni Morse, are moved to move; Jenni was so inspired by the mission of Auberge Shalom, she organized a large Zumbathon in our benefit. This uplifting Party in Purple has been held for several years attracting hundreds of Zumba enthusiasts and supporters and raising thousands of dollars for ASPF.

Pop initiative

My name is Liana Wiener and through my Power of Positivity (POP) initiative, I have raised funds for special causes for the past few years. When the pandemic struck, I knew I wanted to help those affected by domestic violence.  The furniture at the Auberge shelter needed updating and I had a community of people who might be able to help.  I sent out emails and posted information on social media. Exceeding our expectations, over $11,000 was raised! I encourage everyone to reach out to their personal networks and set a fundraising goal.

Birthday walk-a-thon

I organized a fundraiser for my 40th birthday because I have been working closely with a woman who happens to have just celebrated the same birthday. She is kind and smart and I couldn’t help but think that in another set of circumstances, we would have been friends.  On a regular basis in my counselling work at Auberge Shalom, I meet women dealing with horrific abuse in their intimate relationships. Auberge Shalom helps women and children from all different walks of life,  financial backgrounds, cultures and religions. I couldn’t ask for a more meaningful birthday gift than to support these resilient and inspiring women.
