The Event
The Teresa Group annual Dinner and Auction has become a flagship celebration for those in the toy industry and even beyond and something that people look forward to every year.
Last year 500 guests enjoyed an evening filled with a great dinner, amazing silent and live auction items and special guest appearances from distinguished Olympians Joannie Rochette and Becky Kellar, together with singing sensation Ivana Santilli.
Special guests for this year’s 10th anniversary event include former Blue Jays Home Runner Mr. Joe Carter, former NHL Superstar Marcel Dionne, and hockey great Paul Henderson.

The Success
Since the inception of the annual Dinner and Auction, the event has raised $1.3 million, allowing The Teresa Group to further expand its programs and services, such as kids' lunch packs, back to school knapsacks and supplies, food vouchers, hats, mittens and warm winter jackets, cozy blankets and new baby items.
It has also been able to expand its tutoring program to a second location and provide emotional support groups and counseling for a growing number of children and youth.
