Here is the run down, you buy a coffee or any beverage from Second Cup for the person standing behind you in line and they will donate $5 to SickKids! The call to action is simple but it is a way of giving back in a small way which together can make a difference.

Tomorrow I will be dropping by my neighbourhood Second Cup at John and Queen, so please come out, bring a friend and buy a coffee for the greater good.

This weekend Toronto is getting together with some of the smartest technology, startup and marketing folks to party for a good cause.

I will be there and I would recommend you join us. It is a hollywood party to tie into TIFF and I may or may not be rocking a red bow tie, just saying.

More information after the jump:

Just $20 gets you on a boat, partying with the social media community, listening to fabulous local DJs, eating free food and enjoying drinks whilst taking in the beautiful sights of a night time cruise down Toronto’s harbour front. A $20 ticket for an incredible night to remember.

Meal Exchange estimates that it takes only $28 for them to mentor a youth leader and distribute 35 meals. With 100% of the proceeds going directly to Meal Exchange, we have an unbelievable ability to feed a lot of people, desperately in need. The more tickets sold, the more meals can be provided. We have an amazing opportunity to make a huge difference in our own community.

We’re looking to the Toronto community to help us reach our goal of $5000.

$5000 would facilitate 178 youth leaders and over 6250 meals being distributed.

We’ve only raised $ 2,620.00 so far – just over half way there. We need your help Toronto!

Help us spread the word – tweet it, facebook it, blog it. We’ve sold 200 tickets so far – lets get another 300 people to join us and make it an epic evening.

If you haven’t bought your ticket – do it now! http://www.amiando.com/TorontoTwestival”

Also if you are a student enter the code STUDENTPASS and it’ll get them in for a $5 donation however it is a 19+ event.

See you there

It is that time of the month again when we bring together some of the smartest and most innovative minds from the Toronto startup, tech and marketing community to kick back, enjoy ourselves a bit and connect with other young people doing big things.

This month we have aligned our next event to coincide with the awesomeness of the lineup of events that Netchange Week is bringing into Toronto and I look forward to opening the doors to more of Toronto’s ambitious and intelligent elite.

The GenYTO meetup will follow the Refresh Event at MaRS which features several remarkable members of the GenY community including Craig Heintzman of the World Wide Web Foundation and Darius Bashar of DailyChallenge.

Our venue for the June meetup, Pogue Mahone, is just around the corner from MaRS so it will serve as suitable afterparty to the day’s Netchange events

If you know any remarkable young people that gel with the ethos and ambition of our community – don’t hesitate to pass on the invite. If you happen to follow me on Twitter or read the blog and we haven’t yet met in person please come out and I will make sure I introduce you to some really interesting people.
