September Kuromi

Written by Jamie Geche on . Posted in Past Timeraiser.

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.

Ravens Along Mt Robson By Kirk MacMillan

What organizations did you volunteer for to pay for your art?

Special Olympics, JDRF, Rotoract.

What do you like best about the organizations you volunteered for?

Volunteering for numerous Charities was a great way to see how the different organizations give back to the community in their own unique way. The Special Olympics was amazing to see so volunteers many come together to ensure the athletes could I compete at doing the sport that they love. The diversity of the tasks of working with Rotoract was my favourite part of that organization, as every day was different and engaging.

What do you like best about your artwork?

Growing up, I always lived near the mountains, I miss being able to look out the window and see the snow- covered peaks. I was immediately drawn to it when I first saw it on display. Now whenever I look at those mountains, I am reminded of home.

What do you like best about the Timeraisers event?

TimeRaiser is a fantastic event for bringing the community together. From the local charities with the volunteers to the local artists being able e to display their amazing talents. With having so many local charities in the same place allows you to really determine which ones will be the best fit for you and your skill set to help you create the greatest impact within the community.
