Dixon’s 7th annual Christmas Jazz Concert

Our 7th annual Christmas Jazz Concert, held on Sunday, December 2, 2018, was a sold out success!

Thank you so much to all of our friends and supporters who came out to the event to support Dixon House. It was so wonderful to celebrate the season with everyone: we are so grateful for everything that you do, during the holiday season and beyond, to help us see a world where all women and children are free from violence.

All proceeds from the event go toward Dixon House, our 10-bed emergency home, where women and children come immediately after fleeing violence.

At the concert, Dixon’s incredible supporters raised $8,700 for Dixon House! Buy buying a ticket, bidding on a silent auction item, or making a donation, the folks who attended the event are helping us provide our comprehensive supports to the women and children staying at the transition house. Thanks to them, women and children are able to access food, clothing, personal and household supplies, workshops, counselling, and so on, all at no cost.

Appreciation Event 2018 #DixonThanksYou

On Thursday, October 11, Dixon Transition Society hosted its Donor & Volunteer Appreciation Event for 2018.

We say it again and again, because it’s true: Dixon cannot do what we do without the support of our incredible donors and volunteers. We have an amazing community of people who give to Dixon. They give their time, expertise, money, sometimes all of the above and even more.

We are so happy to have the opportunity to appreciate our donors and volunteers at our Appreciation Event. We offered refreshments, door prizes (thanks to some generous donors, once again), and a special presentation on research findings from an evaluation of our Second Stage Housing program.

Dixon is a community, both within the housing facilities and among the people who support our programs. We were so happy to get to know our donors and volunteers better, and we were delighted to see donors and volunteers getting to know each other, as well.

Thank you so much again to all of our guests who took time out of their day to come and be with us, and thank you for everything you do to keep women and children safe and free from violence. Your support certainly helps provide safety and security for these women, but your kindness and generosity also helps instill a sense of self-worth in the women we serve. Thanks to you, they are cared for, and they are reminded that they deserve safety, care, and the opportunity to rebuild their lives.

We will be sharing more photos from the event very soon, so keep an eye out on this page!

7th Annual Christmas Jazz Concert

Dixon Transition Society is thrilled to present its 7th Annual Christmas Jazz Concert. The concert once again features fantastic local artists Miles Black, Glenda Rae, and Brett Wade. This always festive and joyous evening includes a silent auction, refreshments and beverages, general merriment, and of course, fantastic jazz music.

This year all proceeds raised at the concert will go to Dixon House. Dixon House is our 10-bed home, where women and children often come immediately after escaping abuse. The House is staffed 24/7. While there, women can access food, clothing, personal and household supplies, workshops, counselling, and so on, all at no cost.
