Fundraiser for February 20th Cannon Street Fire

For anyone who is unaware of the deadly fire in Hamilton, Ontario, on February 20th, you can read all about it in my blog entry here. For those of you who are already aware of the tragedy, and who would like to show your support by helping the living victims of the fire, please do so by attending the fundraiser being held on March 23, 2013, starting at 5PM. It's being held at 205 Cannon Street East in Hamilton, Ontario, at the Cannon 205 Studios.

Not only is this event for a good cause, it's going to be an amazing time. There will be a whole bunch of performers for your entertainment - and for mine since I'll be attending with my daughter. Chris Misener just brought us our tickets, in fact! Tickets were printed by Copydog, so if you have an event you need to print tickets for, please give them a call.

Included in the list of entertainers/performers are the following:

STRANGE CARGO
BIG PHAT
ALFIE SMITH
GETTING STRANGE
JOE TOWERS
VOODOO RAY
CHARLY CHIARELLI

The MC for this crazy event is Matthew Terry  - official ring announcer for Fringe Pro Wrestling. The official Facebook event page can be found here. Please check it out for regular updates!

Tickets are $15, or 2 for $25. For updated information on where to buy your tickets, contact Justin Graves on Facebook or go to event page (see link above). There will also be a 50/50 draw and a raffle, with tickets available now, and you'll also be able to purchase tickets at the fundraiser itself. Other contacts who have tickets are Sharon Breckon Cruickshanks and Chris Misener, so you  have no excuse for not getting them!

There are tons of really great things that are being raffled off, generously donated to support the cause. Everyone is looking to help as much as possible. There were a lot of people who were left homeless because of this tragedy, and everything they owned was destroyed. They'll be needing rent money, utility deposits, and everything that goes along with starting out on your own for the first time. We tend to forget what that entails until suddenly we're faced with a drawer that has no can opener in it, or the lack of a toilet plunger.

For those of you who wish to donate directly to the trust account, please use the following information: Deposits can be made to any CIBC, or transferred if you are not in Canada, to transit number 03862 and account number 8720487 For donors outside of Canada. Please mail cheques payable to "Survivors" to 230 Weir Street North, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada L8H 5G3. Include the following account information: CIBC Transit # 03862, Account # 8720487.
