This past weekend, Visible Treasures had the pleasure of taking part in the Rally For Kids With Cancer Event in support of SickKids Foundation. This years Toronto event was co-chaired by Gene Simmons & Shannon Tweed who so generously gave of themselves just two weeks ahead of their wedding date. Both Gene & Shannon were not only on hand throughout the weekend, but also volunteered themselves as celebrity navigators for the actual rally which took place on Saturday.
There were many wonderful people out this year, all fighting for this fantastic cause, including top business owners who raised small fortunes. Top fundraisers earned the right to select first among the many celebrity navigators, who also volunteered their time to take part and help some very deserving kids.
Some of the celebrity names included: Robert Herjavec, Lyriq Bent, Leo Stakos, Sean Pierson, Sofia Milos, Tichina Arnold, Michael "Pinball" Clemons, Jonathan Togo, Kardinal Offishall, Joey Graham, Gary Leeman, Kelly Gruber, Ellen Dubin, Eric Roberts, Estella Warren, Elle Patille, Rachelle Wilde, Raine Maida, Chantal Kreviazuk, Damon Allen, Angela Besharah, David Rocco, Cabral "Cabbie" Richards, Eric Dickinson, Elena Semikina, Mike Krushelnyski & Benjamin Ayres.
It all started off Friday night with a draft party at club Muzik, where top fundraisers had their opportunity to pick their celebrity navigator for the Rally on Saturday. Saturday's Rally took the drivers and navigators throughout the city, ending at the Fairmont Royal York Hotel. Rally participants then stopped in for a visit at WOW Creations Celebrity Gifting Lounge where a few choice companies, including Visible Treasures, were on hand to promote their brands. From the energy in the lounge, you could tell it had been a fabulously fun day for everyone involved and many spoke about the special moments they had experienced throughout the day, especially the time they got to spend at Sick Kids Hospital with the children.
The weekend finished off Saturday night with a fabulous Gala Dinner where even more funds were raised. Gene Simmons & Shannon Tweed even auctioned off tickets to their upcoming wedding.
All in all, a very successful event raising millions of dollars for kids with cancer.
