We were blown away by last year’s Stems of Hope gala and we called it the best Charity Gala of 2013 (also amazing was Stems of Hope 2012). So this year’s 5th annual Stems of Hope gala helped to continue propelling awareness and funding for this amazing cause in a big way.
The 28th annual Teddy Bear Affair in support of Children’s Aid Foundation was a night of ‘la dolce vita’. The Metro Toronto Convention Centre was transformed into a splendid Italian piazza, adorned in a panorama of Italian decadence and elegance.
On November 5th, 2014 The Stop Community Food Centre held their 10th annual signature fundraising event called What’s on the Table at Daniels Spectrum. It’s their signature fundraising event with a focus on great food from top local chefs and restaurants.
On the evening of Saturday, Oct 25th, the Heart of Fashion charity gala was one last bang to end this season’s Fashion Week. Taking place at the Town Square at Shops at Don Mills, premium designers and brands were showcased on the runway in a large heated tent.
On Thursday, October 16th, 2014, the illustrious Four Seasons Centre was illuminated for the annual Operanation gala. It’s the signature fundraiser of the Canadian Opera Company, this time with the theme of “Light Up the Night”.
As we mentioned last month, Operanation is one of Toronto’s must-attend events of the year. I was part of the judging process where cocktails were sampled by featured mixologist Dave Mitton of The Harbord Room.
