The springtime charity circuit has definitely arrived! On Saturday, May 10th, young professionals from across the city will come together to imagine a future without HIV/AIDS as they raise money and awareness for the Canadian Foundation for AIDS Research. Now in its fourth year, Paint the Town Red will feature foods from some of the city’s best vendors, a silent art auction of works from up and coming talents and of course, a dance floor with a live DJ. A raffle with exceptional prizes will also be held, with Porter, Swarovski and Food Dudes (our favourite) being just some of the notable contributors.
If youre in need of a refresher, The Canadian Foundation for AIDS Research is Canada’s only independent charitable foundation dedicated to eliminating AIDS through research. By funding promising Canadian HIV and AIDS research and spreading awareness through informational campaigns, CANFAR is contributing to the global fight to end AIDS. Since 1987, CANFAR has awarded more than $18 million to HIV and AIDS research projects. The CANFAR Young Professional Council is a group of young Toronto professionals dedicated to assisting the Canadian Foundation for AIDS Research in its mission to end AIDS.
In a refreshing departure from most charity events, tickets are only $60 until May 9th (available online at http://bit.ly/ofwa2014, $70 the day of the event
