Spoken-word poets and musicians will entertain at the fourth annual SlamJam, a fundraiser at Gleneagle secondary (1195 Lansdowne Dr., Coquitlam) on Friday night hosted by a grade 9/10 Talons leadership group.
Stepping up to the microphone on March 9 will be poets Angelica Poversky, Andrew Warner and Everett Montinola as well as Gleneagle student musicians.
The event, which starts at 7 p.m. in the school’s multi-purpose room, will see proceeds going to the Downtown Eastside Women’s Centre to provide support for women and their children.
Admission is $10/$5; refreshments and door prizes are provided.
Organizers (clockwise from top left) Nathan Cushing, Lucas Hung, Aislyn Adams, Valerie Zhang, Jiwon Hwang, Edward Marakhov and Grace Kim hope to raise $500 for the cause.
