6th Annual Urbana

What is URBANA?

URBANA is an annual fundraiser hosted by Dharma Developments where proceeds raised support community programs with the goal of preventing homelessness in Ottawa. Each year, the event's success is proof that URBANA is helping to reach and support the most vulnerable people in our society. Until URBANA is no longer needed, we count on you - to show what community spirit can achieve when we each take a step forward together.

Last year over $17,000 was raised at URBANA. The overwhelming support from wellrespected members of Ottawa's business, social care and political community demonstrated that we had captured the minds and hearts of citizens in Ottawa. Like Dharma Developments, URBANA supporters want to improve the current affordable housing conditions in Ottawa.

This year, URBANA is helping the Youth Services Bureau of Ottawa (YSB), who support young people and their families as they resolve complex issues affecting their physical and emotional well-being. YSB provides a safe and non-judgemental environment for youth where
they are valued and empowered, promoting respect for diversity, including gender, culture, religion and sexual orientation. The staff and volunteers at YSB deserve huge recognition for the tireless and invaluable service they provide to our community.

As the URBANA party evolves and grows each year, we continue to source the highest calibre of local artists who integrate their arts talent with cutting-edge performance. Be prepared for an evening of awe-inspiring entertainment, tasty hors d'oeuvres and an unparalleled business and social networking opportunity.

We look forward to the positive changes that our community can bring when we work together to improve our city's housing needs. Join us at URBANA on Thursday April 1st, 2010 at Saint Brigid's Centre for the Arts and Humanities. We look forward to sharing the fun of
URBANA with you this year!
