On June 14, 2012, an inspiring event at the Bellagio Boutique Event Venue gathered over 200 guests in support of children in Vaughan and North York who cannot afford funding for behavioural/occupational therapy. Established by Dimitri and Francesca Giankoulas in an attempt to spread awareness and raise much-needed funds for this endeavour, an impressive $12,000 was raised. Proceeds went towards Under the Umbrella Tree, an intensive, early intervention behavioural treatment centre that specializes with kids and parents dealing with autism.
