The 31st Annual Great Valentine Gala

February 7, 2015 @ 5:00 pm - 10:00 pm EST

The 31st Annual Great Valentine Gala was a major fund raising event for the Canadian Foundation for Physically Disabled Persons. The 31st Annual Great Valentine Gala was held on Saturday, February 7, 2015, at the Westin Harbour Castle Hotel. The Gala commemorated the 31 years of our efforts to raise funds and awareness to benefit physically disabled persons. Approximately 800 prominent Canadians attended it and there was generous corporate support.

It is the CFPDP’s No. 1 fundraising event. It has raised over $25 million and has become a glittering showcase for the unheralded achievements of physically challenged Canadians everywhere.

On February 7th 2015, over 500 guests gathered at the Westin Harbour Castle Hotel to support physically disabled Canadians through a special evening of amazing food, music and wine, and special guest Matt Dusk. He is one of Canada’s most beloved male vocalists, forging a career in music that has resulted in 4 critically-acclaimed studio albums. Dusk’s latest release, MY FUNNY VALENTINE: THE CHET BAKER SONGBOOK, pays homage to one of the most popular musicians of the twentieth century, Chet Baker. Dusk has been awarded two GOLD albums, one PLATINUM album, had three number one radio hits, and studied under jazz piano legend Oscar Peterson at York University.

As always, the event began with a wonderful reception at 6:00pm where guests enjoyed live music by talented musicians, drank excellent beverages and got the chance to mix and mingle with one another before the night began.

Following the exciting reception, everyone sat and a fabulous dinner was served to all those who were in attendance. Starting promptly at 8:30pm, the awards were handed out and the winners at the gala were invited to take group photos and say their acceptance speeches.

And finally, after all the awards were handed out the real party began. Show Time began at 9:30pm as guests enjoyed more fantastic beverages, the best live music possible and great company!
This years 31st Annual Great Valentine Gala was the best gala yet and we at CityEvents were extremely excited to be apart of it.
