Our KTW Timeraiser of the month for September is, in fact, September Kuromi.

September brought this event to Kamloops in 2012 after seeing it in Toronto. She knew Kamloops would be a perfect fit for it, given the strong art and volunteer community for which we are known. September brought sponsors on board to pay local artists for their work and put an art auction with live music and appies. During the event, people could bid
on the pieces, but, instead of bidding money, they would bid volunteer hours for local non- profit agencies.

It was win-win for everyone. Kamloops This Week came on board as title sponsor to elevate this unique experience, as it deserves to be. We are sad to report that September and her family have relocated to Seattle for a new opportunity.
September will be at the KTW Timeraiser on Nov. 15 and we invite everyone to come and wish her well on her new venture.

We are excited to announce that Michael and Jennifer O’Brien from 4Cats Art Studio are stepping in to take over as the new organizers moving forward. We know that they will bring exciting, creative new ideas to this already amazing fundraiser.
