THREE TO BE’s mission is to advocate and raise funds to support and advance the development of innovative research, education and therapies for children with neurological disorders.
A couple weeks ago I was
invited to the 5th annual Stems of Hope Gala put on by Three To Be in support of
children with neurological disorders. The theme of the evening was
THRIVE, and the team transformed The Kool Haus into a fantasy forest setting
with fairies hanging from swings and pouring out champagne as soon as you
walked in! AKA - my dreams come true. There was a silent auction with some amazing prizes and there
were even innovative assistive technologies on display. We weren't left hungry
either - there was a wide variety of food Tim Hortons, Cheesewerks, Fonda
Lola, Dave & Busters, Oyster Boy, and so much more!
The evening was hosted
by Cheryl Hickey and Anthony Farnell and when we
walked in Toronto Toronto
Yes, I danced. Yes, I made a fool of myself I'm sure. Yes, my feet were sore the next day. #IAmGettingTooOld
Throughout the night,
there were speakers who took to the stage to share how Three to Be has impacted
their lives. The recipients of the gala’s Three To Be Hero Awards, which
honors heroic efforts of individuals making a difference in the lives of
children with neurological disorders - also took to the stage. Wesley, pictured
above - made my cry my eyes out with his very motivating and inspirational speech!
The guests at the Three
To Be, Stems of Hope Gala were incredibly generous. There was a live auction,
on top of the silent auction - and an amazing prize including backstage passes
to the Victoria Secret Fashion Show in London ,
England
Not only is it an
amazing cause - but the gala itself was so much fun! I can see why
BestOfToronto.net has voted it the best charity gala! They even had a slow-motion
video booth that was just TOO much fun! You can see the ridiculousness below.
