Halloween Costume Party at the Legion
On Saturday night there’s a Halloween Costume Party at the Legion to support four local moms who are teaming up to participate in the Enbridge Ride to Conquer Cancer, benefiting the Princess Margaret Hospital.
Louise Abbott, Renee Patterson, Michelle Abbott and Christina Kauffman are the “Spokes Women” and hope to raise $10,000 for the Enbridge Ride, which is a cycling journey through the Ontario countryside next summer.
There will be a live band at the Legion, dancing, costume prizes and a door prize donated by Toronto jewellery designer (and Birch Cliff mom!) Shelly Purdy. Another Birch Cliff entrepreneur Janine Morrison has donated throw pillows from her business Tonic Living.
The party kicks off at 7:00pm at Legion Hall #13, Kingston Road and Kildonan. Tickets are $25 at the door.
