Amica helping hands throws their annual gala for underprivileged seniors

On November 2nd, 2017 Amica will be throwing their annual Amica Helping Hands fundraising dinner in support of seniors in need at The Omni King Edward Hotel.

 

Amica Helping Hands started in 2003 and every December the charity prepares baskets filled to the top with non-perishable foods, a warm blanket and gift certificates for local grocery stores and pharmacies. They deliver these baskets to low-income seniors with the assistance of other charities. Many recipients of these baskets often live alone or in poverty.

 

In addition to Amica Helping Hands basket program they also support not for profit organizations all across Canada that assist in helping seniors in need. They do this by providing these organizations with funding for initiatives that improve the quality of life for seniors.

 

This year Amica Helping Hands Gala will be hosted by Jessica Holmes a local comedian, author, and mental health activist. Key Note speaker Susan Pinker,  psychologist, journalist and award-winning author, will be taking the stage to discuss her latest book, The Village Effect: How Face-to-Face Contact Can Make Us Healthier and Smarter and neuropsychologist Dr. Shayna Rosenbaum will also be in attendance and will be presenting her findings on aging and memory.

 

The night will start with cocktails and hors d’oeuvres, followed by a gourmet sit-down dinner and silent art auction featuring art created by residence. All proceeds from the event will go towards helping underprivileged Canadian seniors in need.

Canadian talent celebrated with style at Hollywood North!

On Thursday, September 14, CityEvents cohosted with a great group of Entrepreneurs the Hollywood North Lounge TIFF 2017. Celebrating Canadian Talent with style! The Red Carpet started at 7 pm, right when the first talents started to arrive at Brassaii. The night was filled with young and veteran talents from all over Canada.

Mode Events brought us on board in the weeks before the lounge and were thrilled to assist with the PR, ticket sales, marketing/sponsorship and overall event. Was impressed both by the talent of our partners as well as our celebrity guests.

The guests were received chill tunes and an open bar with Ace Hill Beer, Gibson’s Whiskey and Noxx & Dunn on the outside patio. Inside, a “Do your own Caesar” bar where you could customize your Grey Goose Caesar with Walters Caesar Mix and a huge selection of toppings. Branded Bites sweeten up the night with their table full of delicious sweets at the sweet table decorated by Kendall & Co. in Cabbagetown.

Also at the inside reception, the guests were given a gift bag full of Hask, Lush, Outdoor Lifestyle and OSIS+ Soft Glam high end hair and Vasanti skin products. After receiving the gift pack of HASK haircare, I was impressed with the first wash.  Right next to it was the Bene Beauty VIP Beauty Lounge where these products were put to action in the hands of the great Bene Beauty Hairdressers. Outside, Walter’s Shoe Care was giving the guests shoes’ a shine. Both experiences were made for a more comfortable and relaxing celebration. Also PonyDry was on site letting ppl try their new innovation to help people with long hair, I tried it and loved it

After 9 pm, the doors were open for everyone and the party continued to rock! After that, it was only dancing and enjoying the rest of the night at Brassaii. That’s what you call Canadian Talent Celebration!
