Toronto, Ontario November 18, 2010 — A Cure in the Future is an organization of dedicated members whose goal is to raise funds for The Princess Margaret Hospital Foundation (PMHF), that supports research at Princess Margaret Hospital (PMH) – Canada’s leading cancer research hospital. A Cure in the Future needs your help to achieve PMHF’s vision “To Conquer Cancer In Our Lifetime”.
On Saturday February 19, 2011 we will be hosting our 5th annual “A Cure In The Future” Retro Gala at the Bellvue Manor, 8083 Jane St, in Vaughan. To date we have raised $200,000.00 for cancer research for PMHF. The gala is an evening where friends, business associates and the community come together for an enjoyable evening to raise funds for a great cause.
We are proud to welcome back Dina Pugliese from Breakfast Television as our MC for the evening, who is also looking forward to the event. “With so many charitable events happening year round and so little time, this is one I count on and always look forward to. So much so, I’m hosting for the fourth consecutive year!! A Cure in the Future grows in numbers, in donations and in spirit every single year…and is a gala I am proud to be a part of…it has all of the fun, food, fundraising, festivities and ultimately, spirit and hope one needs to make for a truly memorable and meaningful evening.”
The gala ticket includes Martini Bar, Antipasto Stations, Dinner, Open bar and a chance to win a 2010 Mini Cooper Classic, valued at $31,000.00. A live auction, raffle draw and the crowd pleasing gift bag sale will also be part of the evening’s events. Entertainment will be provided by Sensations Live Music and Platinum Entertainment Solutions.
All of us know someone who has been affected by this disease, and can feel helpless when our loved ones are going through the most trying times of their lives. Now you can fight back! When supporting A Cure in the Future, you are making a difference by ensuring the Princess Margaret Hospital Foundation receives the funds needed to deliver breakthrough research, incredible patient care, and extraordinary teaching at PMH. We believe there is HOPE and together the fight to conquer cancer will be won!
