Buddies in Bad Times Theatre's Annual Fundraising Auction 2008A BIG PACKAGE for BUDDIESFrom the scrumptiously festive models; to the bidding war over the beautifully rendered portrait of Patricia Wilson by James Huctwith; to the climactic auctioning off of the coveted Dyson DC25, Buddies in Bad Times Theatre's 2008 fundraising auction - THE BIG PACKAGE - was a roaring success! In the face of looming economic hardship and major cuts to arts funding, the Buddies' community rallied a tremendous outpouring of support, helping to protect the future of Queer Canadian Culture and raising just under $27,000. From all of us here at Buddies in Bad Times Theatre, thank you!
