In these increasingly volatile times - when violent conflict drives a
child from their home every 8 seconds - Chantal Kreviazuk knows that
the need for War Child's programs has never been greater. That is why,
this holiday season, Chantal is stepping up by donating a priceless,
once-in-a-lifetime experience.
"Throughout my life as a singer, there has been one gift that has
stood out - an opportunity if you will - and that has been the chance to
be a humanitarian," says Chantal. "This year I would like to end on a
high note and give a performance in the home of the highest bidder in
Canada for War Child! I have seen first-hand their work with children in
conflict zones and it has been an inspiration to me for many years. So
put together your office or a group of friends and let's celebrate our
good fortune by supporting a great cause."
Starting today, Canadians can bid to have Chantal perform a concert
in front of an intimate audience in the winner's own home, anywhere in
Canada in 2017. The auction will end at 10:00am EST on December 19th,
2016. All proceeds will go to support War Child’s work with children in
war zones.

“Chantal is a fierce supporter of War Child, and it is no surprise
that at this critical time for the world’s children, she is once again
stepping up to help. She has been a champion for women and children in
war for almost two decades and we are honoured by her compassion and
commitment.” – Dr. Samantha Nutt, Founder of War Child Canada
War Child is an internationally recognized charity that works with
war-affected communities to help children reclaim their childhood
through access to education, opportunity and justice. War Child takes an
active role in raising public awareness around the impact of war on
communities and the shared responsibility to act. More information:

Chantal has been an ambassador to War Child for 17 years and one of
the organization’s founding artists. Last year, Chantal and husband
Raine Maida became members of the Order of Canada, recognizing their
efforts to raise awareness and support for numerous causes, including
human and animal rights, mental health, education and the environment.
She is also a proud supporter of the Canadian Mental Health Association,
Polar Bears International, First Nations People, Sick Kids Hospital and
Children’s Hospital Foundation in Winnipeg. Last year, Chantal was
awarded an Honorary Doctorate from the University of Winnipeg, her alma
mater.
Earlier this month, Chantal wrapped up a cross-Canada tour in support
of her latest album "Hard Sail," her first studio release in six years.
More dates will be announced in the new year.
This auction is supported by the innovative charitable hub, Creative
