Toronto’s Finest Auction is one of the innovative ways that Princess Margaret Hospital raises money for cancer research.
In this event, some of Toronto’s hottest bachelors and bachelorettes are auctioned off. Winners receive exotic date packages that include events like skydiving, golfing and dinner at chic restaurants. There is also a silent auction.
This year’s event was hosted by TSN Sportcentre’s Bryan Mudryk and Roger’s Sportsnet co-host Evanka Osmak. Featured talent included the firemen from the firefighter calendar and the Feverettes burlesque troupe.
