Heart & Soul Un-Gala

On Oct. 26, 2010, Drake Hotel welcomed the inaugural Un-Gala in support of Save a Child’s Heart (SACH) – an Israeli-based humanitarian organization that provides life-saving cardiac surgery for children from under-developed countries. Sponsors helped to raise over $320,000 to support SACH, and the evening provided enjoyable soul music with performances by Aion Clarke, Alana Bridgewater, Kellylee Evans, Terence Gowan, Jordan and Prakash John; Jackie Richardson and David Warrack. www.saveachildsheart.ca
