December 2nd is the Heart of Gold Award announcement

Ocean Academy students and teachers have been voting for Danny Michel in the CBC Heart of Gold competition that recognizes Canada's top 20 musicians who are making a positive difference in the world through contributions to charitable causes. You still have time to cast your vote until 3:00pm December 1st. The shortlist will be announced on December 2nd. The Heart of Gold website link is below.

December 2nd is the Matching Funds Donation Day

This is the day to have your donations matched 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 in recognition of our work with youth, entrepreneurship and technology education.

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

2014 has been a great year, as these photos show, and we hope you will help us celebrate the upcoming holidays with a donation to the Danny Michel Scholarship Fund.
