Under the Sea Gala Makes A Big Splash
On Saturday, May 3rd, guests gathered at the Ajax Convention Centre and were swept beneath the waves to another world at the Under the Sea Gala for Hearth Place. It was an evening filled with delicious food, great prizes, and fun entertainment; including mermaids serving champagne, local Pickering group- the Panatics Steelband Network, and music provided by DJ DOMN8T and DJ Geoff to get everyone on the dance floor.

We are proud to announce that this year's event raised over $47,800!!! None of this would have been possible without everyone who attended, our amazing prize donors, our generous sponsors who are listed below, and our dedicated planning committee. All of the funds raised go towards the programs and services provided at Hearth Place Cancer Support Centre. Thank you to everyone!
