Following the recent earthquake in Haiti, members of the Guelph, Ontario community have pulled together to organize a benefit event featuring a wide selection of our amazing and world-class local-area talent. With overwhelming support from the local community, event organizers (Rev. Paul Clarkson, Dr. Ajay Heble, Sam Turton) have set a goal of raising $20,000 from this event, with all proceeds going to the Canadian Red Cross.
PLEASE RESERVE A TICKET NOW - or get one for a friend!
