FORT YORK FOOD BANK FUNDRAISER / ART AUCTION

The FYFB was founded in February 1998 as an independent agency of the Daily Bread Food Bank Foundation of Toronto. They have evolved beyond being exclusively a Food Program, as they now provide an integrated set of services including Counseling and Advocacy, Community Drop-In Centre, and Community Vitality. They assist a diverse group of recently unemployed or underemployed clients by providing the services required to reintegrate back into the community.

This fundraising event was about creating awareness and raising funds for this all important organization within our city. The evening consisted of performances, DJ’s, bands, and an art auction of local artists who generously donated their works of art.

The VIP reception was held from 7:00 P.M. to 9:00 P.M. where attendees had a chance to preview the art, enjoy beverages and snacks, and take in some great local performances by Thane St Andrew, Brian Collins, Nicola Moore, and Pia Bouman School for Ballet and Creative Movement. The evening continued with a jazz-induced performance by Serafin, followed by the soulful sounds of Rachael Berry, indie pop by The Glad Yeah, and straight ahead rock and roll by Anti-Hero. DJ Alex spun an array of tunes throughout the evening.

Deputy Mayor Pantalone opened this special evening and acted as the official host during the VIP reception.
