From the IBM Ring 17 website:

With an Extra Helping of Magic 
November 23

Join us for an enchanting evening of wonder and compassion as Willowdale Rotary and the Hat and Rabbit Club come together to host a magical charity fundraiser on November 23 at 7:30 pm.

This fun and interactive magic show is not just about illusion but also making a real difference. As we gather at this memorable event, with some of Toronto's finest magicians, we'll be raising critical funds to support mental health initiatives in Toronto and in support of the North York General Hospital. With every ticket sold and every donation made you're contributing to the well-being of those in need, helping to break down the stigma surrounding mental health issues and providing essential resources for our community.

Our goal is to raise at least $2,500.

Prepare to be amazed as we unite for a cause that's truly magical - the well-being of our fellow Torontonians.

Buy tickets or donate now.
