Sunnybrook Foundation and the Canadian Hadassah-WIZO have joined forces to produce Funday Sunday: Toronto’s family fest; a city-wide, family friendly event, to be held November 28, 2010 at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre (MTCC).
 
This isn’t your typical family event. Many of Toronto’s citizens (movers-and-shakers, community members, Torontonians), musicians and local personalities will be competing in a challenge - a Rock Band challenge. Each band will compete live on stage at the MTCC, and one band from each age group will be crowned as Toronto’s Ultimate Rock Band champion.
 
To kick off this event and raise awareness for the Rock Band challenge, we are inviting Toronto’s media elite to step up, form their own Rock Band team and show Toronto how much they rock.
 
Richard and CTV colleagues Kris Abel, Bill Hutchison and Michelle Dube  performed live on Tuesday, April 27 at the Toronto Eaton’s Centre in front of hundreds of pedestrians, media and more.
 
Toronto’s top media Rock Band will be automatically entered into the city wide competition on November 28, with a guaranteed performance on the main stage.
