Looking Glass Foundation Scholarship
The 2008 award recipients are Nicole Bemister and Michelle Dean.
Previous Winner: 2007 Sarah Banks
The Looking Glass Foundation believes it is important that all students have
the opportunity to pursue their academic and career goals free from the
emotional and financial barriers that make it difficult. In April of 2007
The Foundation established a $1000 scholarship fund to be awarded yearly to
a deserving individual who has been afflicted by an eating disorder and would
like to attend a post secondary educational program.

We were honoured with $5000 from the BMO Employee Charitable Foundation.

The Grade 7 students at Queen Alexandra Elementary School produced an inspirational account of their concerns in 2008, the result Welcome to My Life was magnificent. Those who volunteered their time and efforts should be commended for a play that was truly special. The students raised over $1000 and donated the proceeds to The Looking Glass Foundation. We are honored!
The Looking Glass Foundation was the proud recipient of the 2008 BCAB Humanitarian Award presented May 09 in Harrison Hot Springs.
Established in 1980 the Humanitarian Award was created to provide charitable organizations with a distribution network to communicate their message. The British Columbia Association of Broadcasters recognizes the need to relay information that has a positive impact on all British Columbians and as such, offers significant television and radio airtime free of charge to one or two organizations every year. Millions of people see and hear these messages and the BCAB welcomes the opportunity to provide such a worthwhile service.
Dr. Michael P Levine, PhD, FAED
We were extremely pleased with Dr Levine and his wonderfully informative presentations. He is a gift and we look forward to having him back. To review the talks please go here.
His scholarly interests are the prevention of negative body image and disordered eating, and the links between those topics and mass media, community psychology, and public health. He has published many articles and chapters on these topics, and presented numerous papers and invited talks at professional meetings and educational conferences in the United States, Canada, Spain, Australia, and Great Britain.
"Raise the Roof 2008"
