Our team has been practicing, learning the tournament scoring system, and, most importantly, preparing our costumes! Thank you to Shadowland Theatre and Leida Englar for your support with showcasing our Island spirit and identity at this event.

With every spike, dink and dive, we will represent Toronto Island to help St. Michael’s Hospital and Providence Healthcare deliver exceptional care.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to Sheila and Jim Belisle for doing a bang up job manning the donation table of delectable

sweets along with serving up chili and chips and encouraging our community to donate to a worthy cause. Alongside these two

in the kitchen a big shout out to Money for keeping me on track with tasks like coffee making and helping to keep the kitchen

running smooth and clean. We could not have such a successful fundraiser without everyone that was involved in setting up

and cleaning up after. A heartfelt thank you to Evan who put up with the craziness over the last couple of weeks leading up to this event. Solid and strong and always there to lend a helping hand.  


When all is said and done…
