Candles of Hope 2011 – Hair, Makeup, Salsa, Bollywood, Runway, Hip Hop, opening act and even some dramatic acting – we’ll be doing it all!

This is the 3rd consecutive year that DMG Designz (www.dmgdesignz.ca) has been a part of Candles of Hope and for good reason too: Not only is Candles of Hope filled with entertainment and prizes; it also educates society and is one of the very few events where 100% of the proceeds go to directly to The Cancer Society of Canada!

This year DMG Designz have put together the opening act, and will be doing hair and makeup for all 15 models in the Fashion Show plus the opening performers!  

It’s all taking place inside Forum Banquet Hall, this Saturday, September 17th, 2011. Tickets are currently on sale for $30.00 which includes a full buffet dinner, entertainment and dancing. They will not be sold at this door this year and there’s a limited amount available to get in touch with us immediately if you’re interested in attending.

We had the opportunity to get a sneak peek at the itinerary and some of the guest speaker’s stories. Just watching the slide show without even meeting the person, I found myself trying too hard to fight back the tears as it was all very touching and saddening. I was shocked to find out that one of our guest speakers was someone we all knew and had just been diagnosed with cancer only three weeks ago currently undergoing an emergency operation. It really put life into perspective for me and how cancer truly can affect anyone at any time, and it not bias toward a race, age or sexuality.

Come out, be blown away, eat to your heart’s content and dance the night away all while supporting such an amazing cause.
