City’s annual Spirit of the Season party will be held at downtown Toronto’s Sheraton Centre on Friday.
Breakfast Television’s Kevin Frankish, Dina Pugliese and Frank Ferragine, and 680News’ Rudy Blair, will be on hand for the yearly event on Queen Street West.
Fans and families are invited to celebrated with giveaways, live performances and donations to the Daily Bread Food Bank.
Donations of a new, unwrapped toy for the Annual Toronto Auxiliary Police Toy Drive are also welcome.
The day-long yuletide extravaganza begins at 5:30 a.m. with a live broadcast on Breakfast Television, with coverage continuing on The 5, CityNews at Six and all day coverage on-site on 680News.
For those heading into town on Thursday night, the Sheraton Centre’s ‘Elevator’ rate of $139 per night includes a $10 donation to Daily Bread.
The Daily Bread said Thursday it has received $1.4 million and almost 200,000 pounds of food in its holiday drive. The food bank’s goal is to raise $2.5 million and one million pounds of food by Dec. 31.
The food bank’s executive director Gail Nyberg said in a statement that donations have been slow, but she expects more donations to come in next week closer to Christmas.
