EVENT
Make a Difference One Wink at a Time
Flirt for a Cause, an organization which hosts fundraisers for various non-profits while creating possibilities for singles and couples seeking love and romance, presents The 2012 Valentine’s Flirt Off on Friday, February 10th from 8 PM - 1 AM. The evening will raise awareness and funds for 3 non-profits: the Playing for Change Foundation, the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, and Angel City Pit Bulls. Each guest will choose which of the 3 they’d like to give their “rose” to a la the hit reality TV shows, “The Bachelor” and “The Bachelorette.” The proceeds will be divided according to the % of roses each non-profit receives, so come out and show your support for Playing For Change Foundation by making us your Valentine!

Brian BoyesFeatured Volunteer
Trumpeter, composer, and music educator, Brian Boyes, has worked in Vermont for the past 18 years. As a music educator Brian Boyes has twice received special recognition from the Vermont Arts Alliance for his unique and creative approach to music education at Cabot School.
“When I saw the first Playing For Change video, I immediately thought that it would be amazing to do something like this with kids,” Brian says. Driven by an inspiration to infuse the spirit of Playing For Change into an educational experience for students, Brian and his colleagues - humanities teacher, Peter Stratman, and science teacher, Michael Crocker - set out to develop a brand new interdisciplinary curriculum that would result in Playing For Change-style video.
