Foundation digs $10k boost through Biz Xcellent fundraiser

People, promotion and place key factors to success

Tecumseh, Ont. The Kidney Foundation of Canada volleyed for a 10k boost through net revenue profits generated by The Biz X Beach Jam Volleyball Tournament held on Saturday, June 18, 2011 at On the Beach (On the Green). The 10k amount represented a 50% spike from its planned revenue goal of $5,000 for 2011 where over 118 participants, volunteers and staff were in attendance for this event.

According to Fund Development & Chapter Manager, Mike Brennan “people, promotion and place rallied the success of this event, which will benefit the Foundation,” in support of raising funds toward stimulating innovative research while increasing awareness of the Foundation’s programs and services locally throughout Windsor-Essex County that benefit approximately 4,000 individuals directly affected by kidney disease or on dialysis.

“The Biz X Beach Jam was a sizzling success and On the Beach was the perfect place to host this summer time fundraiser. I wish to thank the entire committee for all their hard work -- it definitely paid off!” said Deborah Jones, publisher for Biz X Magazine.

In terms of partnership and promotion for the event, “we had a splendid core group of sponsors led by Biz X Magazine, In Play! Magazine, RBC Royal Bank, On the Beach, Bank and 100.7 & 95.1 The Rock,” adds Brennan.

“Biz X and In Play magazines were proud to sponsor this volleyball tournament for the Windsor & District Chapter of the Foundation. Not only did the beach jam raise funds for a very worthy cause but it also gave local employees the chance to have a little fun in the sun and get to know their co-workers better. We definitely look forward to next year's tournament becoming bigger and better than ever!” said Jones.

Of special note, RBC Royal Bank fielded 9 Teams while promoting the event throughout the region amongst its branches and making a significant financial contribution in combined pledges.

The Windsor & District Chapter also made a strategic move to host this event at On the Beach in Tecumseh. “This is Southwestern Ontario’s finest outdoor volleyball venue,” said Brennan.

Team Cole consisting of members Gabriel Bruzzese, Kyle Williamson, Ryan Le, Kelly Paolini, Erin Murphy and Corey Cole dominated the field and commanded the best of 3 final 21-9 and 21-11 respectively over Team Landry to win the $1,000 cash purse before donating $100 back. “It was an excellent event and fundraiser,” said Cole.

Crystal Dewar was the top fundraiser for this event and her team The Ballers led the field in overall pledges at $930 convincingly.

Windsor's Border City Brawlers Hold Free Skate

In Play Magazine

The Border City Brawlers, Windsor's exciting new roller derby league, are holding their second free skate at the historic Windsor Armouries on Saturday June 19, 2011. In line skates are welcome, (there is limited availability of rental skates) and helmets are strongly recommended for those participating. Free refreshments will be provided as well as hot dogs and baked goods. In addition you can meet the members of the Border City Brawlers and see them scrimmage at 2:45 pm so those who are interested can discover what this exciting sport is all about. 

The Brawlers first free skate was held March 18, 2011 and the league was encouraged by the overwhelming public support. The first event saw a turnout of roughly 150 people, many of whom expressed an interest in seeing roller derby in Windsor. 

While the Border City Brawlers and the sport of roller derby are relatively new to the city, the league is already 40 members strong. It's members come from across the county and from various walks of life. The Brawlers have been gaining attention for not only bringing the sport to the area, but also for holding well-attended community events, raising awareness of the league and introducing families to the sport of roller derby and re-introducing families to roller skating.

The Border City Brawlers are Windsor's first women's flat track roller derby league. Flat track roller derby is an exciting and fast-paced sport which has exploded in popularity over the past few years. The Brawlers, like most other leagues, are run "by the skaters, for the skaters" meaning the athletes are the owners of the league. The Brawlers recently recruited many new members and are looking forward to a tournament in July.
