2009 Garden of Eden Gala

On Friday, February 27th, 1100 of Toronto's young, hip and urban professionals entered a SOLD OUT Garden of Eden to party it up at motionball's 8th Annual Gala in support of the Special Olympics Canada Foundation.

This years’ event introduced some new and exciting elements to our annual gala: a seperate VIP reception hosted at Centro Restaurant which featured music by the band Escalate and singer Daniel Panetta, mouth watering gourmet food, drink stations and a police escort to the main party at the Capitol.


With two water bars, exotic trees and foliage, apples, waterfall images displayed on the walls and a tempting All Things Chocolate Buffet, the Capitol was transformed into a true Garden of Eden!



Cabbie was shocked at all of the amazing items at the Silent Auction, including this Kobe Bryant signed jersey and shoes sent from The Man himself!
