Design Hope Toronto 2012

Our 2012 event will take place on Friday April 13, 2012. Despite the unlucky date, we will again venture to raise a lot of money for PARC and Edmond Place. As with our last 3 events, we will be hosting our auction/raffle night at St. John's Parish Hall on Cowan Ave. in Parkdale. Check back here often for more information as we get closer to our 2012 gala night.

Design Hope Toronto Raises $10,000 for Toronto's Homeless

On April 8 2011, Design Hope Toronto raised another $10,000 for Toronto's homeless, making our running six-year total almost $80,000.

Over the last three years, we’ve raised $44,000 for the Parkdale Activity-Recreation Centre (PARC) and its beautiful new affordable housing complex, Edmond Place. If you haven’t seen it, check it out at 194 Dowling Avenue.

Every year, we are blown away by the support and generosity we receive from artists, bidders, donors, volunteers and sponsors, without whom none of this would be possible.

Please see the event’s list of sponsors and donors.

We would also like to thank:

  • Reverend Zbigniew Kozar for letting us use St. John’s Parish to house the event
  • Nick Czernkovich for coming out again as the evening's host, and Bill Kime for being our auctioneer for the sixth time
  • The PARC Drum Group for providing further entertainment with some rousing renditions of some classic rock songs
  • All the DHT family and friends.

We hope you keep checking back for further news from DHT and to see what we have in store for next year.
