June 10, 2014 by CityEvents
Filed under Contest, Past Events
Date: Thursday, June 12, 2014
Time: 8PM – 1AM
Location: The Hoxton, 69 Bathurst St, Toronto
Website: http://www.pantsoff.ca
On Thursday, June 12th, Pants Off for Prostate Cancer has returned for its 5th year as one of Toronto’s hottest – and most revealing – events. This year, we were grabbing our sticks, dropping the puck (and our pants), and hitting the ice for Pants off: Protect Your 5-Hole, a hockey and ice inspired fundraiser that guarantees a slap shot evening. People grabbed their helmet pads, and – errmm- their jockstrap, and joined a team of 500 of Toronto finest as they check their pants at the door and celebrated bare legs in support of the research and support programs of Prostate Cancer Canada.
All Proceeds from Pants Off for Prostate Cancer have brought benefit Prostate Cancer Canada — the only national foundation dedicated to the elimination of the disease through research, education support and awareness.
Congratulations to @ErikaKonori that won two tickets by retweeting
the Pants off Prostate Cancer post!
