8th Annual Spring Dinner Dance

Certain medical treatments, over time, can become quite costly. But with the help and support from family members, friends and even total strangers, huge progress can be made towards alleviating that burden on those affected. Hosted by Ralph Cinelli, on April 21st, at the La Contessa Banquet Hall and Convention Centre in Toronto hundreds of people gathered to give their support to brothers, Alessandro and Gianluca. Both boys have been diagnosed with Autism and require specialized therapy and education. With a great dinner and many activities to follow, the event never had any dull moments. Everyone enjoyed themselves to live entertainment, provided by Ivan Santilli and his band. When not dancing to the music, many took to the silent auction table (and also the live auction) to take home some incredible prizes. Everyone sat in suspense to see who would take home the grand prize: a one week vacation at a luxurious six-bedroom villa in Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic, courtesy of Pinnacle Financial Services. The big winners on this night though were Alessandro, Gianluca, and their devoted family. This night, annually, serves as a reminder that people can make a difference in each others’ lives. Being healthy is a blessing, and the best way to pay it forward, is to help those with difficulties receive the care they deserve.
