Toronto, Canada's Largest Fry Meetup for Charity
Notable TV and New York Fries organize delicious charity event.
Jun 11, 2009
For the second year running, New York Fries is a Platinum Level Sponsor of the National Kids Cancer Ride – a charity event to raise money for kids living with cancer. The Canadian fast food restaurant chain will be donating $1 from every regular fries and meal sold on June 18, 2009 to the National Kids Cancer Ride and has spent the last two months raising awareness of the event. The money raised will be used to support Oncology centres across Canada. To help out, Toronto-based Notable TV is teaming up with New York Fries to organize a unique charity event in the heart of downtown Toronto.
Notable TV Founder and CEO Julian Brass wants to take over the city’s busiest intersection – Yonge and Dundas – with hundreds of fry-wielding supporters of this great cause. The plan is to encourage people to purchase a regular fries or meal at either of the two New York Fries locations in the Eaton Centre on Thursday, June 18, and then meet at Dundas Square for a massive gathering and opportunity to mingle with other altruistic young professionals.
“We want to create the biggest fry meet-up the city has ever seen,” said Brass. “This fun networking event will lead to hundreds of dollars going to support kids living with cancer, thanks to New York Fries’ donation day.”
In addition, Brass has created a Facebook group about the Ride on behalf of New York Fries and Notable TV where members can leave supportive messages to kids living with cancer. The messages from the group’s wall will be copied onto a large billboard and delivered to children who are fighting cancer in hospitals across Canada.
Brass’s goal is to have over 600 people attend the event on June 18. The meet-up at Dundas Square will start at 6 p.m. For more information about this event, please visit the official event page.
