On April 21, UNBC will be hosting the second edition of Wine, Women and Song.

This fundraising concert will feature three female vocalists including local musicians Britt A.M. and Amy Blanding, with Andrea Superstein headlining the event.

A portion of the concert will include an interactive element as members of the public will be able to participate in a mass choir sing-a-long of Quiet by Milck.

All proceeds will go towards the Inspiring Women Among Us (IWAU) award which helps UNBC students who are facing financial obstacles in accessing university education.

Since creation, seven awards have been granted.

“The financial support that this award provides allows me to be fully devoted to both my studies and my children," says Chelsea Dunbar, a third-year forestry student and recipient of the IWAU award.  

"I am so appreciative that this award exists because it supports people like me that want to pursue their passion, continue their education and still be dedicated and involved as a mother."

Past recipients like Dunbar will speak at the event and share their stories of how the award has helped them succeed.

Tickets are $55 in advance or $65 at the door.

There are also a limited number of discounted tickets available for students of UNBC and CNC for $45.

The event is set to take place at the Prince George Playhouse at 6:30 p.m.
