The Bell Mobility Ball and Celebrity Gala is an important social event for Toronto. For lovers of star gazing, this night did not disappoint. This ball attracted celebrity guests from the world of sports, fashion, music, media and business. Everyone was united under one enormous roof to support and raise funds for the SickKids Foundation. The theme for the evening was Rhapsody - Club Cabaret. The Club Cabaret mood was captured by attendees wearing either black tie or cabaret clothing.
The Bizarre, the Cocktail Reception and Silent Auction
Guests entered the cocktail reception on a red carpet flanked by news teams with cameras and roving reporters. The Bizarre was a mesmerizing cocktail reception marketplace where the penniless bourgeoisie, socialites and celebrities all came together as one. At Club Cabaret, the electrifying performers tantalized guests throughout dinner. While guests sipped cocktails, they cruised the charity auctions tables to bid on high quality corporate donations for the auction - all for a good cause.
Dinner Theatre and Entertainment Showcase
The dinning area was impressive. You could have easily thought you had journeyed to a Las Vegas show. I believe there were well over 200 tables seating approx ten guests per table.
During the dinner, there was a live auction and entertainment emanating from the enormous stage.
To the delight of the fashionistas in the house, there was a Motorola Designer Challenge Fashion show. Motorola had challenged 10 fashion students and recent grads from Toronto to design a couture outfit in a Cabaret theme.
Following the fashion contest, the main fashion show and the lineup of stars and entertainers was impressive.
The 15th annual Bell Celebrity Gala was a fantastic evening for a worthy cause. It was a great effort on the part of all the sponsors, organizers, business that donated auction items, stylists and makeup artists, celebrities, bar staff, waiters, security, journalists to support the SickKids Foundation. So if you didn't go this year, you must to next year and check back here for details!
