Motion Ball 2010
Cloud 9 Gala 2010
February 5, 2010
Motionball 2010 was held on February 5, 2010 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The elegant Sponsor Reception was held at 6:30 p.m. at Centro Restaurant and included gourmet buffet dinner, complimentary bar, silent auction. It was a 3 minute walk to the Capitol Theatre at 9:00 for the hot party which included extended complimentary bar til 2 a.m., a silent auction, a fashion show and a
chocolate dessert buffet by Peter & Paul's. There was a live DJ til 3 am. This was a fun & hot charity party with plenty of dancing as the crowd was
taken to Cloud 9 Gala 2010.
The Motionball is the brainchild of three brothers who are also best friends.
"The motionball concept was hatched in the fall of 2001 over a few drinks at the Bier Market in downtown Toronto. While enjoying the patio, Mark, Sean and
Paul Etherington deliberated as to how they could make a greater impact on Special Olympics Canada (SOC), a charity they had supported since childhood.
The Etherington brothers' association with Special Olympics grew out of years of volunteering at Special Olympics events created by their parents, Brian &
Kirsteen Etherington who, along with David Garard and Bruce Etherington, co-founded the Sports Celebrities Festival, which has raised in excess of
$12,000,000 for Special Olympics since 1983."[motionball.com] Their first meeting resulted in Motionball - "a charitable organization that is designed to
introduce a new generation of supporters, sponsors and volunteers to the Special Olympics movement through integrated sporting and social events."
The Motion Ball was a fine and exciting party for a very worthy cause - the Special Olympics Canada Foundation. It rocked!! Check back here for next year's Motion Ball and click on this page for more information and how to donate!
