  • On April 12th, we started something special. Something that brings together a community all while allowing each of us to shine in our own way. We wrote the first chapter of DefineTO. You can see the pics from the event here and here .

    As a result of incredible support from sponsors, volunteers, performers, staff at The Fifth and a lively crowd, over $12,000 in-kind and cash was raised for The Remix Project, a local Toronto charity that utilizes mentorship, instruction and the power of the arts to inspire at-risk youth and help them achieve their dreams.

    Funds raised will be used to expand the reach and impact of The Remix Project, including their six-month educational programs in subjects that include Media Arts, Creative Arts and Business/Entrepreneurship.

    The hard work by all adds up to creating personal success stories and a building a stronger community on and offline.
