Backstage raises $4734 for the Arthritis Society

We recently presented the Arthritis Society with a cheque for $4734 from money raised on our recent Scratch and Win charity campaign.

The Executive Director at the Arthritis Society, Marg Vandenberg, said

We are thrilled to be a recipient of Backstage's charitable giving program. With over 600,000 people living with arthritis in British Columbia, the funds raised by Backstage Technologies will help The Arthritis Society continue its work to provide programs for people of all ages who suffer from arthritis and to fund research to develop more effective treatments.

Marg Vandenberg (center) recently visited Backstage headquarters and graciously received our giant novelty cheque in the amount of $4734.42.

To raise money, we created a limited-time Scratch and Win ticket and prize set themed for the Arthritis Society. These tickets could only be purchased for $0.10 each through Spare Change, with net proceeds directly going to the charity.

Backstage Montage

All decent, self-respecting, socially conscious, thought leading companies have one thing in common: they all have awesome montage videos that feature the emotionally stirring music of Sigur Ros.

Here is ours. Enjoy.

First screened at the Backstage Christmas Party of 2009 (hosted by TV's Jon Dore, no less), this video has since gone on to win several awards for excellence in maudlin self-importance.
