Teddy Bear Affair
Metro Toronto Convention Centre
This year, our guests were Steppin’ Out in support of the Children’s Aid
Foundation at the 23rd annual Teddy Bear Affair on Saturday, November 14th, with patron
sponsors, CGI and CIBC Children’s Foundation. The evening was an incredible success
and more than $1 million dollars were raised in support of Canada’s abused and
neglected children and youth.
The evening took guests back to a time when elegance and glamour were the name of the
game. Sleek design and art deco accents transformed the Metro Toronto Convention Centre
into an era when swing was in and the cool cat sounds of Benny Goodman and Bing Crosby
brought ballrooms and nightclubs to life. Between Canadian crooner and headliner Matt Dusk
and Swing Shift, the house band, toes were tapping to the beat of swing music late into
the night. The Dance Company brought the room to life with their lively and upbeat
routines. The Teddy Bear Affair was once again hosted by Breakfast Television hosts Kevin
Frankish and Dina Pugliese who kept the crowd laughing with their witty banter and
hilarious improv. |
