In celebration of the Starlight Children’s Foundation’s 20th Starlight Gala, this year’s fundraising gala theme was the “Roaring Twenties”, a prohibition-themed affair at the Fairmont Royal York complete with plenty of entertainment, flapper dresses, feathers and pearl necklaces, decor and a speakeasy after party including a casino and a giant cage.
Hosted by ET Canada’s Rick Campanelli, the evening raised $500,000 for the Starlight Children’s Foundation.

We heard heartfelt speeches including young parents who tragically lost their child but were helped by the Starlight Children’s Foundation.
These young parents talk about the loss of their young child.
Musical entertainment included a soulful performance by Divine Brown as well as Starlight Children.
