Join the GLITTER2026 Volunteer Family!

Be part of Nanaimo’s most spectacular fundraising gala on September 12, 2026. GLITTER2026 brings together over many volunteers from across our community to create an unforgettable evening of dance, theatre, fashion, music, circus performances, fine dining, and live auction—all supporting vital youth mental health and addiction programs right here in Nanaimo.

Following the proven success of Vancouver’s legendary Brilliant! and SHINE events that raised over $4 million for healthcare causes, GLITTER2026 represents 14 years of fundraising excellence coming to Vancouver Island. Every volunteer makes the magic happen, whether you’re a seasoned performer, behind-the-scenes creative, technical expert, or someone who simply wants to support an important cause in our community.

What makes GLITTER2026 special? Our unique volunteer model ensures everyone has a personal investment in our collective success—all volunteers purchase their own event tickets, creating a true community of supporters who get to enjoy the spectacular show they help create. From hair stylists and makeup artists to dancers and sound technicians, from auction coordinators to cleanup crews, every role is essential to bringing this vision to life.

Ready to join a movement that’s changing lives while creating something truly extraordinary? Complete the form below to become part of the GLITTER2026 family. Our volunteer coordinator will contact you within one week to discuss your interests, availability, and how you can contribute your unique talents to this incredible community celebration.

Together, we’ll create magic while making a real difference for young people who need our support.
