Ryerson Residents are Charitable!

Saturday night we held a Bachelor/Bachelorette auction for SOS Children’s Villages…and to call it a ‘great night’ is nothing short of an understatement!!

Time to fill you in on the magical evening:

20 of the Ryerson’s bravest eligible residents strut their stuff on the catwalk…and let their fellow residents ‘bid’ on them to win a date (while raising money for our charity of choice SOS Children’s Villages!) and raised a whopping $2348.53 for charity!

I had the honour of hosting the event (not to mention auction myself off) and I was completely blown away by the generosity of some of the bids (ie. Up to $200 on people…OMG!)

To make this event even more exciting, Ryerson’s President, Sheldon Levy agreed to match all donations made at the event up to $5000. So every dollar donated was immediately doubled.

Overall, this we truly appreciate the turnout, and a big thank you to our sponsors for the event (Salon Liberte, Golden Griddle, Grille Works, Island Greek, VIP Billiards for your sponsorship!)

Until time,

Rezfully yours,

-Gwen
