時尚高潮（Fashion Ecstasy）多倫多團隊受邀參加在Against the Grain Urban Tavern舉辦的迷人晚宴，在湖邊景觀餐廳裡一邊跳舞，迎接新的2020年。

• Attendees were treated to a four-course meal from a specially curated

menu, glasses of sparkling wine, hors d’oeuvres, and party favours. A portion of the tickets sales was directed to after Breast Cancer, a registered charity that helps breast cancer survivors by providing them with the necessities following surgery such as mastectomy bras, mastectomy camisoles, and breast prostheses.

Fashion Ecstasy has personally received the amazing help that ABC provides, watch our video here:

• At the party, guests were taken to the dining room that had high floor to

ceiling windows that looked out onto the waterfront. Each table had adorable party favours and printouts of the menu for the night’s dinner. Before food was served, guests settled into their tables and enjoyed some pre-dinner entertainment in the form of music playing from the ultra-cool DJ Sara Simms.

宴會中，賓客被帶到用落地窗包圍的高地用餐室，該用餐環境的落地窗可讓用餐貴賓一邊享用美食及海濱美景。 每張桌子上都有可愛的派對禮物，並印有當天晚宴的菜單。 在上菜前，客人們紛紛入座，先聆聽 DJ Sara Simms播放的音樂，享受餐前娛樂。

• In a quick interview with Alicia Vianga, the founder and executive director of after Breast Cancer, she shared with us how the charity has changed since its inception in 2013.

“One of the changes that I’ve seen is that we are helping a lot more women,”

Alicia said. To date, after Breast Cancer has helped over 600 women. When asked what she wished to see in the New Year, she replied,

“…that breast cancer survivors know that there is an organization out there for them that would support them and they are never alone.”

在採訪ABC的創始人兼執行董事長Alicia Vianga對話中，她提及該慈善機構自2013年成立後的成長與變化。
「我所看到的成就之一是我們正在提供很多女性所需的幫助 」。
迄今為止，乳腺癌已經幫助了600多名婦女。 當被問及她希望在新的一年中看到什麼時，她回答：

「……讓所有乳癌生存者知道這裡有一個可以支持及協助他們的組織，他們不孤單也不用獨自奮鬥。」

At the party, FE also had the pleasure to meet Lindsay White, Senior Manager of Planning and Operations with The Beauty Clinic by Shoppers Drug Mart. She got involved with after Breast Cancer in 2017 after asking the Vice President of Operations about how she could devote more time and resources to community investment. After being encouraged to find a cause she’s passionate about, a Google search on breast cancer charities led her to after Breast Cancer, and the rest was history.

在聚會上，時尚高潮也很榮幸見到Shoppers Drug Mart美容診所部門的計劃和運營高級經理Lindsay White。 她於2017年在詢問運營副總裁他們如何將更多的時間和資源貢獻投資於社區後，與ＡＢＣ開始接觸。 她在谷歌搜尋自己熱於支持的事業，在搜尋一番後，谷歌搜尋帶領她找到ＡＢＣ並與此機構結緣，一起開創新的歷史。

• As a partner and close friend to Alicia, Lindsay has personally how the

organization has helped the charity’s graduates. With the support of Shoppers Drug Mart, after Breast Cancer currently holds beauty and health-related workshops and outbound events to help the charity’s graduates rebuild their self-confidence and enhance their quality of life.

作為Alicia的合夥人和閨蜜，Lindsay最能了解了該組織如何運作及幫助慈善機構的「畢業生」。 在有全加拿大最大的藥妝店之一Shoppers Drug Mart的支持下，After Breast Cancer目前已有能力舉辦與美容和健康相關的講習以即其它旨於幫助該慈善機構的「畢業生」重建自信並提高生活品質的活動。

• Back in November, Shoppers hosted two open house events called The

Shoppers Beauty Clinics VIP Event. One was in Oakville and the other at the Shops at Don Mills— where guests received complimentary makeup applications, received personalized SkinCeutical® assessments, and even received gifts with purchase. All of the proceeds from this highly successful event went directly to after Breast Cancer.

• When asked about her wish for 2020, she said, “I hope that we can bring

joy into their (graduates of after Breast Cancer) lives. I know first-hand how hard life after treatment is, so I wish that we can come together to help each other and be that shining light for them.” It was incredible meeting Alicia and Lindsay, who are such compassionate, sincere, and kind individuals.

當被問及她對2020新年的期望時，她說道：「我希望我們能為ＡＢＣ的畢業生生命中帶來更多歡樂。 我最能親身體驗接受乳癌治療後的生活有多麼艱辛，所以我希望我們能夠團結在一起互相幫助，成為這同胞們的希望之光。」
能與如此富有同情心、真誠和善良的 Alicia a和 Lindsay親自交談，時尚高潮倍感榮幸。

After lovely dinner, everyone made their way onto the dance floor, where DJ Sara Simms played a fantastic mix of R&B, soca, and some ABBA to get everyone in the festive spirit. At 11:59 A.M., all of the guests gathered around the TV monitors to watch the ball drop from Times Square. As soon as the clock hit midnight, patrons in the restaurant cheered and raised their champagne glasses to the start of a new year. The evening concluded with more dancing and drinking into the early morning hours.
