On Thursday, April 10th, 2014, it was a full house at the Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) for the sold out 10th annual Massive Party.
It was my second time at the Curve Ball gala and I remembered why it was one of my favourite events of 2013. Taking place on the baseball turf on the Rogers Centre with more than 1,000 VIP guests, it’s a fun one-of-a-kind baseball themed gala where guests get to mingle and rub shoulders with star athletes and alumni from the Toronto Blue Jays.
The 19th annual Starlight Gala took place at the Fairmont Royal York Hotel once again last Saturday, April 5, 2014 with the interesting theme of “London Calling”, named after UK’s punk rock band, The Clash. The evening raised $500,000 to fund Starlight’s programs goal of “bringing joy to children who need it”.
From the same group that created important food events for a cause, Foodstock followed by Soupstock, the Canadian Chefs’ Congress held a timely “Spring Thaw” event to celebrate the arrival of the new growing season, just as the weather started getting better.
The Panaroma Lounge was the setting for the launch of dating company, Perfect-Fit, with a focus not just on dating but also improving personal appearance and fitness.
Who else is looking forward to this year’s POGO charity party? It takes place at the Liberty Grand Entertainment Complex with awesome people like Mike Chalut from ProudFM. This year’s theme is “ODYSSEY” so get your space suits out and join 1,000 philanthropic party goers in “a journey through space” in support of children with cancer. Last year the POGO gala raised $800K for this important cause.
