Every year, the Inspiring Women Among Us (IWAU) award helps University of Northern British Columbia students who are facing financial obstacles in accessing a university education.
On Saturday, the second edition of Wine, Women and Song is coming to the Prince George Playhouse. The fundraising concert features three powerhouse female vocalists: local musicians Britt A.M. and Amy Blanding, and headliner Andrea Superstein. In addition to the performances, a portion of the concert includes a unique, interactive element as members of the public will be able to participate in a mass choir sing-a-long of the song Quiet by Milck (with permission).
All proceeds from the concert will go towards strengthening the award so it can help more deserving students and inspire more next-generation leaders. To date, seven awards have been granted, and every year, a growing number of applications are received.
