PAVI and Blue Wave Studios Pitch In With CD To Benefit the BC SPCA

Rave On Studios have just released “A Very Vancouver Christmas Volume 2" charity CD to benefit the BC SPCA and the Lower Mainland Christmas Bureau. PAVI was happy to donate some recording studio time and student engineers to the project for the second year in a row.

Tony Marriott's tune from Volume 1 - 'I Don’t Believe in Santa' and this year Marq DeSouza's tune 'Let's Be Honest...' were recorded here at Blue Wave Studios with the assistance of PAVI Audio Engineering students.

The Lower Mainland Christmas Bureau has been helping families since 1930, and has been an independent United Way agency since 1989. Every Year we ship thousands of new toys, warm clothing and other items to local Christmas Bureaus, Community groups and agencies across the Lower Mainland. In 2005-2006 this was in excess of seventy-five thousand items.

We directly helped over nineteen hundred Vancouver families last Christmas, with donated toys, clothing and food vouchers. The LMCB spent over one hundred and fifty thousand dollars on direct food costs last year alone. The past four years have seen a 100% increase in the number of families that we provide this service to.

The LMCB runs entirely on grants and donations, and has a large dedicated group of volunteers that help at the bureau, or give of their time working on fundraising events within the community.
