2012 Crystal Ball: HEAT @ Metro Toronto Convention Centre

The 26th Annual Crystal Ball 2012: HEAT was held at the Metro Toronto Convention Center last night, Nov 3. Awarded the 15th Annual Canadian Special Events Star Award for the Best Produced Event in Canada, the gala successfully raised $1.2 million, which is over 60% for Reach for the Rainbow‘s annual operating budget last year. The funds support children with disabilities, give them a chance to push past barriers and to truly know what it means to belong.

We spotted celebrity guests Glen Baxter, Elena Semikina (2010 Miss Universe Canada) showing off jewelries from the auction items, Susan Hay, and Rose MacLennan (Olympic medalist)
