One steamy night!
Fireball 2009 was a sold out event and this year we are turning up the heat with a Russian inspired theme. Escape into the world of Russian Heat with an all inclusive evening of food, entertainment and much more!
The Party
Fireball brings together over 500 of the city’s movers and shakers to the Capitol Event Theatre for a steamy night on the town. Guests are invited to sip on cocktails, indulge in oysters on the half shell, enjoy Russian inspired delicacies, bid on sizzling silent auction items and test lady luck at the raffle. The dance floor moves and grooves all night long and is awash with red-clad guests keeping rhythm with the DJ. This year it’s guaranteed to be the hottest ticket in town celebrating Russian Heat!
The Cause
Fireball’s goal is to raise much needed funds for Sheena’s Place; a non-profit organization providing support for men and women affected by eating disorders. Since its inception in 1999, Fireball has raised over $850,000 net for programs at Sheena’s Place.
Eating disorders have the highest mortality rate of any mental illness. Over 15% of people with anorexia will die from complications related to their disorder. With only 20 publicly funded beds and limited private inpatient beds wait times can range from 6 months to over a year.

Frugal Fashion Week
July 13, 2010 by CityEvents
Filed under Past Events, Uncategorized
Is Cheap The New Chic? Frugal Fashion Week reveals 5 ways you can update your wardrobe on a budget.
1. Out with the old, in with the new.
First, figure out which items in your wardrobe don’t meet your fashionable standards! Go through your closet and set aside everything you don’t want, don’t need and don’t wear. Make-a-date to donate your unwanted, wearable items to a local thrift store – Goodwill, for example.
2. Check it twice.
Now that you’ve gotten rid of the old, it’s time to make room for the new! Make a list of the items you’d like to add to your wardrobe; include everything from shoes to suits.
3. Check your local listings.
Newspapers and fashion blogs are a mecca for frugal shoppers because they often list sales, trunk shows and sample sales that are happening across the GTA. Spread your frugal shopping sprees over several months and give yourself time to create a fab, frugal wardrobe!
4. How much?
Figure out your budget – how much are you willing to spend on a pair of shoes? Set aside cash – not credit – and map your shopping destinations. Start with the sales you found while conducting your search. Make plans to hit an outlet mall or two! Thrift, vintage and consignment store also provide amazing deals on gently-used (and sometimes never-worn) items!
5. Don’t be desperate.
Remember, you don’t have to buy everything just because you think you’re getting a good deal. Ask yourself if you really need 5 white tees? Or 8 pairs of jeans? A few key pieces that will last (or become fashion classics) or worth more than a closet full of clothes that still have the pricetags!
