A celebration of Canadian jazz in support of Camp Quality
TORONTO, July 27, 2010 - TNW - Hosted by Jazz FM’s Jaymz Bee, the fourth annual event will feature Canada’s best jazz, soul pop and blues music with performances by two-time Juno-nominated Elizabeth Shepherd, Shannon Butcher, Kellylee Evans, Johnny Favourite, pianist Tyler Yarema and three-part harmony swing by The Firefly Cabaret founder Chantelle Wilson and The Maisies.
The evening will also include a fabulous silent auction and raffles, and Hugh’s Room will donate a portion of all food and drink proceeds to Camp Quality Canada.
Chantelle Wilson founded The Firefly Cabaret in 2007 in honour of her father, Wayne Wilson, who died of cancer in 2001. As a member of the vocal jazz band, Swing Rosie, Wilson had ties to the jazz community and wanted to put on a show that would feature her talented peers and raise money to help people suffering from cancer.
“Because of my dad's love of camping and fond childhood memories of camping with my family, I thought Camp Quality Canada was the perfect organization to support since it ensures kids living with cancer can cherish similar experiences,” says Wilson.
Camp Quality Canada provides children with cancer the opportunity to experience the joy of summer camp while being medically supervised.
What: An electric evening featuring performances by some of Canada's most talented musicians, a fabulous silent auction, raffles and great food and cocktails in support of Camp Quality Canada, a non-profit, volunteer organization that provides a free, week-long camp and year-round support for children living with cancer.
