What do you get when you gather London-themed live and silent auctions, an Austin Powers impersonator, a Spice Girls tribute band and 700 of the city’s finely dressed do-gooders and celebrities, all surrounded by the grooviest Union Jack-inspired décor? The 19th annual Starlight Children’s Foundation Gala, which this year was themed “London Calling.” Held at the Fairmont Royal York Hotel in Toronto, the event educated and inspired guests with speakers from families who have been touched by children’s illnesses. It was a smashing success, raising over $500,000 to benefit the Foundation’s mission to improve the life and health of kids and families around the world.
