The New Pornographers: Supporting The Cause!
Supporting The Cause!
Hi all! We're very happy and excited to announce that we will be raising money for two very worthwhile organizations; The ALS Society of Canada, and The Urban Native youth Association. Details on both organizations are described below:
The ALS Society of Canada is the only national voluntary health organization dedicated solely to the fight against ALS. ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), or Lou-Gehrig's disease, is a neurodegenerative disorder that affects the patient's motor neurons; typically the patient is paralyzed or deceased within 2 to 5 years of the initial diagnosis. The ALS Society Of Canada do three key things Support research towards a cure for ALS. Support provincial ALS societies in their provision of quality care for persons living with ALS.Build public awareness of ALS and its impact.

and
The Urban Native Youth Association.
Native Youth refers to First Nations Youth which is a term of ethnicity that refers to the indigenous peoples in Canada who are neither Inuit nor Métis people.
UNYA's mandate is to help Native youth in the urban setting. UNYA was formed to address Aboriginal youth issues when it became apparent that growing numbers of young people were continuing to leave reserves for the city. A large number of First Nations youth end up on the streets with few job skills, minimal training or education, and little or no knowledge of where to go for help. UNYA's goal is to be a safe place for Native youth to come and find out about our programs and other services in the community.
One of the most important initiatives that they are working on is for the Native Youth Centre The NYC will serve as a dynamic service hub that will help instill confidence, develop leadership skills and foster a spirit of achievement among the 36,000 Native youth in the Greater Vancouver area.

Aside from contributions, we will also be making exclusive merchandise including T-Shirts, Tote Bags, Autographed Posters, and Limited Edition Prints that we will be selling and donating 100% of the profits toward these organizations. We will also be doing an advance sale on the merchandise online so stay tuned for that to come soon!
