It’s the best summer backyard party in Toronto! Barenaked in Rosedale, Serve Canada’s annual fundraiser, served up great food, great wine, great entertainment and a great time for all who attended...all for a great cause--helping Serve Canada!

Held in a large and elegant backyard in Rosedale, the event was attended by over 400 people and exceeded its target of raising $150,000 for Serve Canada’s work with youth in the inner-city.

Tyler Stewart of Barenaked Ladies co-hosted the event with CTV’s Seamus O’Reagan. Joining Tyler on stage was a musical line-up that included Canadian music legend Randy Bachman, members of the Philospher Kings, Leslie Feist and Amy Millan. Also present were comedian Sean Cullen, who helped out with the live auction, Justin Trudeau, who briefly spoke about youth issues, and Serve Canada program graduate Diana Groenendijk who spoke eloquently about the impact Serve Canada has had on her life.

Serve Canada would like to thank the wonderful musicians, sponsors and volunteers who made Barenaked In Rosedale a reality. Special thanks go to John Offutt and Jane Ferguson, and Mark and Maryann Gaskin for hosting this event. Most of all, thanks to everyone who attended and made it a memorable night--it wouldn’t have been nearly as great without you!
