Volunteer

Be part of Nanaimo’s most spectacular fundraising gala on September 12, 2026. GLITTER2026 brings together incredible volunteers from across our community to create an unforgettable evening of dance, theatre, fashion, music, circus performances, fine dining, and a live auction—all supporting vital youth mental health and addiction supports 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? Volunteers aren’t backstage help — they are part of the show and essential for the night. Hair stylists, makeup artists, dancers, sound techs, auction coordinators, cleanup crews: every role is important, and everyone who helps to create the evening gets to enjoy the show.

Ready to join a movement that’s changing lives while creating something extraordinary? Complete the form below to become part of the GLITTER2026 family.

Together, we’ll create magic and raise the much needed funds to bring Foundry to Nanaimo.
