19th Annual Eat to the Beat – Roy Thomson Hall – Tuesday, October 21 – 7pm
In 2014 an estimated 24,400 women and 200 men will be diagnosed with breast cancer in Canada.
I bet you know someone in your life that knows someone that has been touched by Breast Cancer or various other Cancers.
Eat to the Beat benefits Willow Breast & Hereditary Cancer Support, a not-for-profit organization that offers free peer support to anyone coping with breast cancer.
“Eat to the Beat is a
mecca for urban foodies, and those who want to be, to experience the best
Ontario’s culinary scene has to offer,” states Barbara Track, Eat
to the Beat Chair “It is the only event in Canada that exclusively
features the talent of 60 female chefs – women supporting women, it doesn’t get
any better than that and it’s an evening that should not be
missed!”

wines, premium beers and spirits for sampling at food and drink stations

class with a bit of sass, breast cancer survivors will be modeling original
food-inspired corsets that they have created.
The evening also includes live music, a
silent auction featuring must-have items, and a raffle draw for a chance to win
great prizes.
The proceeds of this great fundraising event will go to Willow Breast & Hereditary Cancer Support, founded in 1994 by Bagel Works entrepreneurs Lisa and Abby Slater, it is a national not-for-profit
organization that provides free support, insight and information to anyone,
including those at high risk, affected by breast and hereditary cancer. From
the individual diagnosed, to family and caregivers, Willow makes sure no one
needs to face it alone.
“When you

& Hereditary Cancer Support. “Proceeds go directly to our programs
and services that pass on strength and knowledge to people across Canada who
need Willow’s caring and expertise to help them navigate the challenges that
come with a breast cancer diagnosis.”
From the individual diagnosed, to their
family, friends and caregivers, Willow Breast & Hereditary Cancer Support provides
free support and information today for those who cannot wait for
tomorrow’s cure.
