A recent star-studded event organized by G Adventures and the charitable organization Love In Action held to benefit the non-profit Planeterra raised an impressive $22,000 dollars. The funds were raised to support Haiti relief efforts and supply much-needed microsurgeries for a vision restoration project in Tibet.
The benefit, held at Toronto’s Revival Nightclub on March 17th was hosted by Toronto television personalities Melissa Grelo and Matte Babel from the CP24 Breakfast show, and included a silent auction and raffle. Funds were raised through sponsor donations, event tickets and individual donations.
G Adventures founder Bruce Poon Tip was in attendance at the event to award Love At First Sight with a free voluntour to Peru courtesy of G Adventures. The winners will be helping to maintain and improve a women’s weaving cooperative developed and supported by Planeterra.
