The Farha Foundation, Quebec’s leading AIDS fundraising organization, brought 350 guests together to celebrate its 13th edition of MASKARADE themedÉTERNITÉ, Celebrating Inspiring and Everlasting Spirits. The exclusive event held on February 16, 2012 at Marché Bonsecours in Montreal gathered many of the city’s elite and proved to be a night of unforgettable entertainment featuring Roch Voisine, Randi Katz (lead singer of The Directors), DJ Eddie Lewis, DJ Sandy Duperval and Sonia Benezra, the evening’s MC.
“It was a wonderful night of extraordinary dining and entertainment and we are thrilled with the support we received this year!” states Linda Farha, Volunteer President of MASKARADE 2012. “We raised nearly $275,000 in donations, which will be distributed among organizations fighting against HIV/AIDS all across Quebec.”
The evening also featured a silent auction with an impressive array of items to be auctioned with all net proceeds going directly to the Foundation. The dream is that one day, HIV/AIDS will be obliterated for “ÉTERNITÉ”. The 2012 edition of MASKARADE was a successful night where inspiring and everlasting spirits were honoured and celebrated including: Elizabeth Taylor, Anthony Perkins, Rock Hudson, Liberace, Freddie Mercury and the Foundation’s founder, Ron Farha. The Farha Foundation would like to thank all sponsors, guests and volunteers for the support and commitment.
