Spotlight on Students at The Evening To Feed The Soul Dinner Event 2008

The 4th annual Evening to Feed the Soul Dinner Event took place on November 7, 2008 at DaVinci Banquet Hall. This year’s theme was “TCDSB Students.” The evening highlighted the achievements of the 4 remarkable students who received assistance from The Foundation. Student Trustee James Dempsey was the evening’s emcee and guests heard the inspiring stories of Jeffrey Fernando (Pope Paul II), Jenna Hijazi (Marshall McLuhan), Justin MacNeil (James Cardinal McGuigan) and Stephanie Marino (Msgr. Percy Johnson). Poignantly, they shared stories of how the Foundation has changed their lives.

The theme of students echoed throughout the entire event. Aneta Gronowski and the students from Father John Redmond performed during the cocktail hour; grade 8 students at St. Raphael created eye-popping angel centrepieces under the direction of Antonette Covello, Maria Coulter and Kristin Tocci; and artwork prepared by the Grade 7 students who participated in the Bob Wilson Art Camp adorned the podium area.

The Evening to Feed the Soul Dinner Event is held annually to raise funds for Student Nutrition Programs in schools. Providing a healthy breakfast, snack or lunch is essential for learning and the Foundation has proudly sponsored such programs for over a decade.

Special thanks to Bishop Boissonneau and Toronto City Councillor Maria Augimeri for joining us, the Dinner Committee Members and all of the volunteers! The event was a true success!
