Blue Pie Records is a doting and active supporter of the children’s charity ‘Variety.’ We raise money through out artists, and each month we receive their newsletter, featuring stories of how they have immensely improved the quality of life for families with children who need that little bit more love and care. The latest E-Newsletter touched us, so we would love to share and spread the word of this amazing foundation that pour their time and hearts into helping kids with disabilities. Their ‘Story Of The Month’ reads:
“Cassadee was diagnosed with nocturnal epilepsy, which causes her to have up to eight seizures a week. Cassadee’s seizures, caused by lesions on her brain, began when she was just seven with each episode lasting anywhere from two to five minutes.
Kerry explains, “Cassadee slept in our room so we could watch her all the time. Even on nights when Cassadee didn’t have a seizure, our high level of anxiety meant that we never had a restful night’s sleep.
Kerry and Robert are hopeful that in the future, either an implant or surgery to remove the lesions will eliminate Cassadee’s epilepsy; however, in the interim, they are extremely grateful to Variety for providing the monitor which has restored their quality of life. “While we still haven’t felt comfortable having Cassadee sleep in a separate room, at least we now have the chance to rest easy,” said Kerry.” The Variety Children’s Charity has offices around Australia, USA and Canada. Blue Pie Records encourages others to get on board for a good cause and make a donation at www.variety.org |

We are extremely proud to receive yet another letter of thanks from David Small, CEO, Variety, the children's charity. We are glad to have made a difference to the lives of those children in need. To Quote David Small - CEO " I would like to extend our deep thanks to you and the teams at Blue Pie and the marketing team at Dealing With Destiny for the non stop support you have shown Variety. Your ongoing support in helping us to raise much needed funding for Australian children born with serious illness and disability. Without the kindness and generosity from companies such as Blue Pie and Dalifey Films, Variety - the Children's Charity, would be unable to provide the special care we believe is not only valuable but vital for those children affected by illness or disability. So far we have been able to raise close to $10,000 from the raffle of the car " Betsy" in the film and box office ticket sales that have been kindly donated and there is more to come from your marketing efforts with retailers like Coles and Woolworths and hopefully support from QANTAS and VIRGIN showing the film in their In-Flight systems. You have been very creative with this film and we look forward to working with you on any new film projects where you wish to donate proceeds to Variety. I would like to send special thanks to Paul and James Condoleon and Damien Reilly for jumping on board to help fund this cause and to get the business model over to us last year. I want everyone involved to know the disadvantaged children of Australia are incredibly grateful. Thankyou Damien, Paul and James and the teams at Blue Pie and Dalifey Films for your great work."

"Village To Village" Tsunami relief appeal:
Blue Pie was fortunate to be able to donate two items from our memorabilia collection to be auctioned by the Village To Village" Tsunami relief appeal and raise over $1100 to help the victims of the disaster. You can read the great note of thanks from Matt Farmer, Event Co-Ordinator.
"Hey Damien and the Blue Pie Team, thank you for your contributions to the "Village To Village" Tsunami relief appeals in January and March this year. These were local, grass roots initiatives from local surfing communities, musicians and pro surfers on the Northern beaches of Sydney which through the assistance of the Lions Club International, Quiksilver, engin and Surf Aid International raised over $15,000.00 from these events. The funds raised went to specific villages in the Mentawi and Tews islands who were largely missed by mainstream aid at the time of this horrendous disaster. These contributions were invaluable in saving lives through medical aid and support. Thank you for so much for your valued contribution."

Hurricane Healing was originally started as an aid for the victims of the catastrophic 2005 Hurricane Katrina. Blue Pie is committed to helping Hurricane Healing grow and generate funds for the victims of hurricane disasters around the world. The project is all about the creation of compilation albums with artists from the Blue Pie roster. You can see the advertisement we have on Sonicbids here. Click here to see the ad. This will explain what you do to support the program and how you can help by proviing your music to help to rebuild lives from the devisation of the Hurricanes. Since 2005 we have been able to donate over $2000 USD to the Salvation Army both locally in Australia and in the USA. In Australia we have made cash donations at various locations and to the Salvation Army Officers as they ask for funds in the various shopping malls in Sydney Australia. In the USA we have been able to donate over $1100 directly to the Salvation Army. You can see the donation receipts on the Hurricane Healing website. This is as at January 2012. Blue Pie and Damien Reilly have donated cash, labour and resources worth well over $60,000 over the past 6 years to pay for the development and building of all the infrastructure, systems and labour required to run the Hurricane Healing website. With the site and brand name developed Hurricane Healing can now expand and seek to raise larger funds from corporate partners to help the many victims of Hurricanes all over the world. The compilation albums that we have created for this great cause just keep producing income for the victims. This is a great renewable income stream. There are amazing supporters of the campaign and in the years to come this will grow and grow. Rome was not built in one day as they say. We are proud to have been able to provide consistent support from the sales of these great albums over the past 5 years. As the Blue Pie roster of artists grows then so shall the donations to the Salvation Army helping all the victims of the Hurricanes world wide.
Please have a look over the site and see if you feel you would like to join us in with our aid program then please email: sales@bluepie.com.au We will send you out a distribution kit and you can have your music listed in the next batch of compilations. Check out iTunes and click here to see some of the many artists that have helped so far. |

Blue Pie and partner Magic Blue Creative donate part of their profits each year to World Vision. Since we started with World Vision in 1996 we have been able to donate over $17,500 AUD (This figure is as at July 2010). Most of the funds go towards aid in Africa, providing clean water for communities who would otherwise get sick from dysentery and have a much shorter life expectancy.
