The Hope Ball
The Hope Ball is an annual event which, for the past three years, has raised over $200,000 for charity. This year, with your help, The Hope Ball intends to raise $200,000 in one evening in support of The Toronto Hospital's Spark of Life Campaign.
The Hope Ball 1998 is a fundraising dinner dance, silent and live auction with complimentary cigar rolling, together with martini and oyster bars. This very special evening will be held on Saturday, May 9, 1998 in the spectacular Regency Ballroom at The Four Seasons Hotel.

Disorders such as Alzheimer's, Brain Tumors, Parkinson's, Multiple Sclerosis, Stroke and various spinal cord injuries will all benefit from this research funding. To date, in its final year, The Spark of Life Campaign has raised $13,375,906. Their goal of $21 million is attainable with your help.
