“JAZZ & the CLASSICS”

The Minstrel Foundation held its annual Fundraising Gala “Jazz & the Classic” at the Granite Club on June 9th, 2009. Special guest artists for the evening were Yuval Fichman, Mike Ruby and Robert Pilon. The lively crowd, generous corporate support, and terrific entertainment made this year one of the best and most successful events in the history of the Foundation, raising over $100,000 for music and arts programs for inner-city youth.

We thank the many people who contributed greatly to the success of the evening through their hard work. Special thanks also goes to our platinum sponsor, Unilock, gold sponsors, HSBC, Cassels Brock Lawyers, Cornerstone 52, the Gerry & Caren Ruby Family Foundation, Sullivan Entertainment, and silver sponsors Judy & David Galloway, RBC Foundation, MASA, HOLCIM, Donald Johnson & Anna McCowan-Johnson and Scotia Private Client Group.
