Danny Michel has a Heart of Gold

Vote for Danny - Heart of Gold

Heart of Gold

We all know that Danny Michel and fans have hearts of gold. Now we have an opportunity to spread the word with a simple vote! Danny has been nominated for the CBC Musician Heart of Gold Award that recognizes Canada's top 20 musicians who are making a positive difference in the world through contributions to charitable causes. Ocean Academy students and teachers are voting for Danny every day until December 1st, and we ask you to join us. The Heart of Gold website link is below.

Mark December 2nd on your calendar

The Heart of Gold shortlist will be announced on December 2nd. Also on December 2nd is a great fundraising opportunity to match your donations dollar per dollar right here on Danny Michel's Global Giving page. Ocean Academy was selected to participate in a Microsoft YouthSpark $350,000 Matching Funds Campaign because of our work with youth, entrepreneurship and technology education. For example, Ocean Academy students are learning Hour of Code and Adobe video editing in their computer classes, and are also creating their own mobile apps.

This is how the matching funds campaign works:

On December 2nd matching funds will be released in two batches. The timing of your donation is very important, because once the matching funds are released they get used up quickly. Donations $10-$500 will be matched 100% until the funds run out.
There are also bonus prizes for the project with the most individual donors, and the project that raises the most money on December 2nd
Donate online right here on Danny Michel's Scholarships & School Repairs page
$175,000 will be released at one second past 6:00 PST/ 9:00 EST/ 14:00 GMT
$175,000 will be released at one second past 12:00 PST/ 15:00 EST / 20:00 GMT

Thank you, as always, for your continued good wishes and financial support. We will send you a reminder report on December 1st about the Matching Funds campaign and the Heart of Gold vote, along with more school photos and stories.
