With the support of The Home Foundation, Joe Bhango, a Medallion Club REALTOR® at Sutton Centre Realty, along with his Bandmates; Ryan Kozicki, Kelvin Schmidt & Dmitry Vaintraub, was able to present a cheque for $5729.64 to InspireHealth.
Held at The Wolf Bar on February 15, the band’s inaugural performance was sold out, bringing together music lovers and donors alike. The electrifying setlist included classics such as Plush, Man in the Box & Blackhole Sun. Attendees were encouraged to donate, and the generosity of the crowd exceeded expectations, making the fundraiser a resounding success.
