Troubling News From Stats Can

Ironically, the number of overall donors in the city climbed by 2.4 per cent, from 900,290 to 922,310, according to the annual report on charitable donations.

What: The 4th Annual FFL Charity Benefit
When: Friday June 5, 2009 at 7:00 p.m.
Where: The Atlantis Pavilions at Ontario Place

Well, it’s almost that time of year again. For nearly 10 months the Friends For Life team has been preparing diligently for the 4th Annual FFL Charity Benefit. This year’s event promises to be bigger and better then ever. To start, we have secured the city’s classiest and most unique event venue – The Atlantis Pavilions.

The Atlantis Pavilions is conveniently located just minutes from the downtown core. This magnificent complex is situated high atop Lake Ontario on 35 foot pillars. Guests will enjoy stunning panoramic views of the Toronto skyline and waterfront.

Aside from the fantastic venue, we have also decided to provide a new “all inclusive” ticket format. That’s right kids; FFL 4 will feature a full service OPEN BAR as well as delectable food stations featuring cuisine from some of Toronto’s top chef’s.

As always, the event will feature live music, entertainment, DJ performances, a live and silent auction, plus much more.

Tickets will be available online at http://www.friendsforlifefoundation.ca/ for the very reasonable price of $80.00 per person.

HOWEVER, since we know that times are tight, we have decided to offer an exclusive pre-sale. Go to http://www.friendsforlifefoundation.ca/ BEFORE April 10 to purchase your ticket for only $65.00. That’s a savings of 25%!

Be sure to take advantage of this great offer as we fight to put an end to Cystic Fibrosis and Cancer. For more information contact us at info@friendsforlifefoundation.ca or visit the website. We hope to see you all on June 5.

Much love,

The FFL Crew.
