Last Saturday night, Sept 27th the Allstream Centre at Exhibition Place was the venue for “Laughter is the Best Medicine”, a charity gala for the Toronto East General Hospital. Filling the shoes of Jerry Seinfeld back in 2012, the headliner this time was the one-and-only Chris Rock to an audience of 1,400 guests. And apparently it was all-new material. How funny was Chris Rock?

On September 16th, 2014, it was another sold-out evening filled to the brim with 600 people for the Save a Child’s Heart annual “UnGala” fundraising event.

On September 19th and 20th, it was all about celebrities, supercars and big, bright smiles rallying for kids with cancer at the 7th annual Rally for Kids with Cancer Scavenger Cup series in events which stopped over in Toronto for 2 days.

These people were each stars in their own right, and now as 2014 inductees, their recognition as cultural contributors is now taken a step further by being officially honoured with a star on Canada’s Walk of Fame.

Now in it’s 11th year, the Canadian Opera Company‘s signature fundraising gala, Operanation, is surely going to be a night to remember at the glamorous Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts.
