The Fight To End Cancer (FTEC) Media Weigh Ins were Thursday night and the event was a HUGE success! This year saw a record turnout, which took place at Lavelle Rooftop Lounge. The panoramic views of the city, combined with the breezy summer weather, set the scene for an unforgettable evening! Guests enjoyed complementary OTM Vineyards wine donated by Old Mill Toronto and beer from our official partners at Steam Whistle. Chef Romain Avril generously donated delicious sliders to the over 400 guests of the Media Event.
