A couple weeks ago, Bryan Cox, Molson blogger from the West, wrote about Molson’s donation to the Town of Okotoks (Just south of Calgary) $25,000 was donated to help build a new field house at the Seaman Stadium.
We sent our team of videographers from ARC out to film the event and they got some amazing footage of the baseball team, the fans and even one of our bloggers….Hi Bryan

A few months ago, I wrote about an event organized by Framework Foundation called Timeraiser. Molson is a founding sponsor and partner of the event, and I attended along with half a dozen Molson employees. See post: http://blog.molson.com/community/2008/04/07/timeraiser-toronto-raises-over-11000-hours/ A quick background: Timeraiser is an art auction, but Instead of bidding money on the the art, people are asked to bid their TIME which is then donated to a charitable organization of their choice….very cool idea. For this year’s Timeraiser in Toronto, Molson’s VLOG creator and CSR partner, ARC (Artists Raising Consciousness), filmed a short documentary showcasing the event — from conception, to planning, to execution. The film, a J.W. McConnell Family Foundation “Change in Action” film, shows the layers of a Timeraiser and how it’s moved to a national level. Timeriaser was founded by Anil Patel, a social innovator and executive director at Frameworks Foundation. Anil has been leading the organization since its inception in 2002, and through Timeraiser, he has found a way to build community investment and strength by bringing together non-profit and charitable organizations, local artists, students and young professionals and community-minded corporations. Congrats to Anil and his team on yet another successful Timeraiser. [youtube gwQ4mkMdpFg]
The next Vlog episode takes us out to Halifax where Molson donated $10,000 to Nova Scotia Amateur Hockey. Cheers!

Welcome to the first of many ‘Molson Community VLOGs posts - Proud to Play our Part’. The video logs that you’ll be seeing are being created by an amazing organization called ARC – Artists Raising Consciousness. Molson connected with the team at ARC a couple weeks ago at Timeraiser (click here to read about Timeraiser), where ARC was filming and Molson was a sponsor. Molson will be working with ARC to capture the great community events that Molson is a part of. Can’t wait for episode 2…
Cheers!
