Hope Blossoms: Toronto to Japan Fundraiser

The Toronto to Japan collective is hosting an evening's entertainment called Hope Blossoms at the TIFF Bell Lightbox on Thursday, April 21st to help raise funds and awareness for the victims of the Japan earthquake and tsunami. Tickets are on sale now.

Inspired by the grand tradition of the Japanese variety show, the evening will include appearances by Margaret Atwood, Michael Ondaatje, Jian Ghomeshi, Adrienne Clarkson, Bob Wiseman, Basia Bulat, Jim Cuddy and Oh Susanna. These Canadian icons will share the stage to bring Torontonians laughter, tears — and hope. All proceeds will be donated to the relief and reconstruction efforts on the ground in Japan by the Japanese Red Cross, Doctors Without Borders and Second Harvest Japan. Bidding for the Silent Auction starts at 6:30, so come early! Visit our Events page for more details.
