GRANDE PRAIRIE’S TENILLE and the 3rd ANNUAL
BIG HEARTS FOR BIG KIDS CONCERT EVENT
GENERATES $104,000
BENEFITINGGRANDE PRAIRIE YOUTH EMERGENCY SHELTER SOCIETY – Sunrise House
“Our goal was to raise $100,000 in 3 years.
We surpassed that in one night
and raised $194,000 since the event began in February 2010.”
Toronto, Canada. It’s official! The 3rd Annual Big Hearts for Big Kids concert event benefiting the Grande Prairie Youth Emergency Shelter, also known as Sunrise House, will receive $104,000 from Saturday evening’s fundraiser, created and hosted by Tenille — 2012’s first ACMA Female Artist of the Year, and CCMA Female Artist of the Year Nominee. In the 3 year tenure of the event, $194,000 has been raised.
“This was the first year our tickets — over 450 seats — sold out before February 1st,” said Tenille. “The people of Grande Prairie paid $75 per seat and experienced phenomenal talent — Wendell Ferguson, Pear, Jake Mathews, Willie Mack. It was an honour having CCMA Hall of Fame Inductee Michelle Wright participate. The way she interacted with everyone was amazing. Jason Blaine and his band put on a great show which was an incredible way to end the night!”
Grande Prairie residents opened their wallets and contributed over $14,000 to silent auction items and over $22,000 for live auction items including a music package consisting of an autographed Epiphone Guitar, guitar lessons, Bud Country Fever Tickets, and a 10 hour studio recording session at the Grande Prairie Regional College; a private catered dinner for 8 with Chef Gavin Young at the winner’s home complete with wine basket; a trip for two anywhere West Jet flies; a barbecue and steak package. The lucky winner of the diamond ring raffle, valued at $3,000 donated the ring back to the live auction with the crowd enthusiastically responding and generating $11,000. Artist Lewis Lavoie’s live mural resulted in an additional $7,600. Lavoie was also taken by surprise when he was announced the winner of the mystery trip raffle. He and his wife will fly to Las Vegas and enjoy a stay at the MGM Grande Hotel and be entertained at the Shania Twain Show!
“Saturday evening’s event has confidently strengthened the shelter’s budget for 2012, bringing encouraged hope to successfully support these kids in need. It is humbling to learn this is what can take place when a community comes together,” said Tenille.
“A huge thanks is extended to the Big Hearts for Big Kids committee for their hours of dedication, and the sponsors who were bugged relentlessly,” said Tenille, “thank you for believing in this event. To our volunteers, thank you for your kindness. And to all the artists who participated, thank you for sharing your time and talent to make such a huge difference. To every single person who spent their hard earned money to buy a ticket, thank you.
“Thank you for supporting the youth in need of a safe place to turn to right here at home.”

BENEFITING GRANDE PRAIRIE
YOUTH EMERGENCY SHELTER SOCIETY – Sunrise
House
Toronto, Canada. January 11, 2012. In February 2010, and on the heels of the doors closing on the only youth emergency shelter north of Edmonton, Grande Prairie’s Tenille presented a cheque for over $30,000 representing efforts of 1 evening of musical performances, auction item purchases and unwavering support from the community’s volunteers, attendees and her musician friends. Grande Prairie’s Youth Emergency Shelter Society also known as Sunrise House continued to operate. In February 2011, the event, larger in scale with auction donations from as far away as Los Angeles, resulted in $60,000 being turned over in one evening.
In its third year, the 2012 BIG HEARTS FOR BIG KIDS concert fundraiser occurring Saturday February 11th at the Jackpot Grill and Banquet Facility is bigger than ever. With songwriting circle performances by Tenille, Wendell Ferguson, Pear, Jake Mathews, Willie Mack, and Michelle Wright, the evening will round out with the high energy feature performance of Jason Blaine and his band. Donated items include an autographed Epiphone DR 100 acoustic guitar from Epiphone Guitars; a trip for two wherever Westjet flies; artist Lewis Lavoie is returning to paint a live mural during the evening which will be auctioned off. A mystery raffle will also take place and on-line donations will contribute to the evening’s success.
“The shelter’s 2012 budget is $435,000.00” said Tanya Wald, Executive Director. “Currently 64% of the budget’s funding is confirmed leaving us $155,000 to raise. Tenille’s Big Hearts for Big Kids Annual Concert Event is a major part of those fundraising dollars. Based on its previous success, Big Hearts for Big Kids contributes close to 40% of that total. Tenille’s vision and fundraising efforts make a difference in the lives of youth and allow us more time to focus on the shelter and our clients. We are very proud to have her aligned with
us.”
A private concert will also be held at BIG COUNTRY 93.1 radio station with Michelle Wright, the newest member of the Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame, prior to the show. One lucky Peace Region winner will be chosen from a songwriters’ contest to attend Michelle’s on air performance and perform their winning song with her in attendance.
BIG HEARTS FOR BIG KIDS will be emceed by Corus Entertainment’s Tracie Gray and Big Country 93.1 FM’s Lyle West. Doors open at 6:30 with the show beginning at 7:00 pm. Tickets are on sale for $75.00 each and available at the Crystal Centre Box Office (780-538-0387).
