MPI Toronto Chapter Winter Social - Magic Among the Stars

Magic Among the Stars

So many weeks of planning for the Winter Social Committee and then in ‘a blink of an eye’ it was over. But the memory of the evening with all it’s magic and sparkle will remain in our thoughts for a long time to come.

As one attendee put it, “I felt like the events community was ‘back’. There was a vibrant buzz in the air. It was incredible to reconnect with industry colleagues and make some new friends.”

MPI Toronto Chapter and CanSPEP joined forces with a shared commitment to make a positive impact on our community. In the true spirit of the holidays, as industry leaders we came together to support COSTI Immigrant Services by creating hygiene kits and gathering warm winter essentials to bring comfort and joy to those in need. Two bins were overflowing with hats, scarves, mitts, and socks that were brought to the event. CanSPEP packed 200 hygiene kits earlier in the day to go along with the warm winter items for COSTI.

The fundraising surpassed our expectations with the online auction and raffle. The raffle tickets were ‘hot’ and sold right up to draw time. Two great prizes were available to win – 20,000 Marriott Bonvoy points and a Louis Vuitton bag.

A portion of the online auction will be donated to Women’s College Hospital Foundation and on top of donating the Louis Vuitton bag, AV-CANADA is donating $5 from each raffle ticket purchased to the Mississauga Food Bank. This shows the positive extent of the impact the chapter will have on our community.

This event would not have happened without the time and expertise provided by the Winter Social Committee and without our valuable sponsors. We are truly grateful to the organizations who purchased a corporate table and brought their clients to experience the Winter Social.

As we wrap up the year, take time to enjoy the holiday season and have a Happy New Year!

Again, thank you to our Sponsors.
