THE EXPERIENCE
The inaugural United Hearts Gala will support the
United Hearts Student Program and United Hearts
Shelter Program. Guests and Sponsors will be
inspired as they participate in a fun evening while
helping Toronto’s most vulnerable citizens.
Gala guests will have exclusive early access to the event starting at 6 pm and
be greeted upon arrival with sparkling wine and hors d’oeuvres while enjoying
live jazz music and a song created specifically for the United Hearts Program.
Gala guests will continue to experience a night filled with entertainment
including: “Never been done before” Silent Auction and a Live Auction hosted
during dinner by the formidable Layne, one of the rare Benefit Auctioneer
Specialist (BAS) graduates in Canada.
The fun continues during the after party as guests join forces and purchase
‘Sign-up Parties’ which are carefully curated experiences on a specific date,
at a specific location for up to 12 people. Guests can purchase individually or
in groups.
United Hearts Gala guests will have the opportunity to participate in the
Golden Ticket draw at the Gala. There will be 150 tickets sold online and one
lucky winner will get a choice of one of the incredible live auction items!
All United Hearts Gala guests will receive a swag bag as a sincere thank you
on behalf of the event sponsors and other partners of Brands For Canada*
