Upenyu is proud to be sponsors of this event for a great cause.  Come join us tonight and bid in the Silent Auction to get Upenyu Clothing in gift bags!  In support of The Heart Truth campaign to raise awareness about the importance of heart health, we will be presenting Men in Black and Ladies in Red – an Appointment with Music. This fundraising event will be hosted by TRIXX (one of Canada’s top stand-up comedians) and Babbzy (Toronto Video Blogger) with music by DJ Reddy Fox (formerly of Flow 93.5), DJ Doc (Kardinal Offishall tour DJ) and DJ Mel Boogie. This amazing event will be held in the theatre district of Toronto’s downtown core at Dazzling Lounge on Friday, June 11th, 2010 and feature a silent auction of donated prizes and artwork.
