2009 has been a great first year for us here at BE:Cause Industries. With the help of our friends, volunteers and sponsors we've been able to put on a number of great events and support some great causes!
We had 2 hugely successful Skate4cancer "The Cure is Knowledge" Tour events at the Plaza Skate Park at the Forks. We held "Art for a Cure" where local artists created original pieces on blank skateboards and the works were auctioned off to benefit Cancer Care Manitoba. We also had events for The Autism Society of Manitoba and Winnipeg Harvest.
We could not have done these things without the help of our friends, volunteers, and sponsors. From people donating time to volunteer and help out, bands playing for free and donating their time, sponsors donating products and advertising, press covering our events and all the people behind the scenes working to make our events go off without a hitch there has been such an outpouring of support for BE:Cause and our mission that has truly been humbling! Thank you all so very much!

We've got some big plans for the upcoming year and we're very excited to get down to work!
