On July 27, with the help of Mayor Stephen Mandel, PACE presented $17,166 to the Youth Emergency Shelter Society (YESS). YESS was PACE's designated charity for our 2010 Mayor's Celebration of the Arts. PACE has given well over $100,000 to worthy Edmonton organizations since 2005. YESS is using the proceeds to help fund its arts programming for homeless youth in Edmonton. Please check back to read the press release and backgrounder which will be posted soon.
