It’s hard to believe that it was only a little over a week ago that we held our second annual fundraiser event, Slipstream in the City 2012. This year’s event was held at the Steam Whistle Brewing building, in the heart of downtown Toronto. The event and venue was filled with great music, awesome food and drink, and amazing people. We were genuinely overwhelmed with the enthusiasm, encouragement, and support shown for Connected in Motion.
Thanks to our sponsors*, 100% of the money raised from ticket sales, silent auction items, draws, and donations went directly to Connected in Motion… and how much did that all amount to??? Drumroll, please!
The amount raised at Slipstream in the City 2012 totalled:
$14, 214
What does that mean practically? Those funds will go a long way to helping us: host an Eastern Slipstream, expand our Western Canada programming, expand our social media platforms, formalize our 5.5er programming, and support CIM Ambassadors.

SO blown away by the support! Thanks to everyone who donated, sponsored, volunteered, came out, or even thought of us that night! 😉
Couldn’t be more stoked on how many people made it out. Incredible feeling to have a cold pop with so many people in the diabetes community at one time.
It was a great night out! My dad also super enjoyed meeting some other parents whose kids have type 1 🙂
Your dad is awesome! I wish we had got to do more dancing. I think he would have EXTRA liked that! 😉
