Over the past 8 years we've managed to become one of the staple events in Toronto nightlife. We started in a small basement of the now defunct “Milanos”, to various premiere nightclubs across the great city of Toronto. We've had some absolutely memorable moments, brought down some legendary artists to perform, and basically had some of the most memorable nights of our lives. Its crazy to think that some of you who were there when it started 8 years ago, are still with us, and are who we now affectionately call “family”; which leads me to the next point.
What does the word “family” mean ? Does it only pertain to those who share your blood, your nationality, or close friends ? How far does, or should, that word extend ? I personally believe in only one family, and one blood. We are all one HUMAN family, or at least we strive to be. The words “family”, “love” and “compassion” are interchangeable for some of us, and those beliefs extend far and wide, maybe even more so to those who may be at a point in their life where they need it most.
This is where you/we come in. On Friday, May. 4Th 2012, we would like to challenge ourselves; to see exactly how far and wide that definition of “family” can go.
“GoodTimes” has partnered up with the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Canada (Toronto & Central Chapter) for the first of an annual event called “GoodTimes For A Cause”. We have decided to try to give back to our community by raising funds for this amazing organization, an organization which grants the hopeful wishes of children who are experiencing tough times fighting a host of illnesses and disabilities. These wishes range from wanting to meet a certain celebrity, to wanting to have a certain experience in their life; in order to give them just a little more hope.
To put it bluntly; we should ALL be there. Many of us know the test of strength, which is a part of seeing someone you love suffer through Cancer, MS, Leukemia, AIDS/HIV or any other illness you would like to substitute. Most of us know what its like, or have had to sit powerless and watch as our loved ones suffered through their last moments, only to lose the battle. Many of us know how important “hope” is, and if you don't ... ask a Cancer survivor.
On May 4th, we are asking you to come out and help support those in our “family” who need a little more light in their dark times. In order to help Make-A-Wish and their amazing cause, we have decided to donate a portion of the door proceeds from this “GoodTimes For A Cause” event to their foundation. In addition to that we are donating all private donations to Make-A-Wish, and I would like to thank all of the businesses and individuals who have donated items thus far, and who will be volunteering their time at our event.
In addition to the amazing classic joints from the 80's & 90's we will all be enjoying, we will be giving away a ton of giveaways and prizes for the following :
