23rd Annual Starlight Insurance Gala, May 6, 2017

Transitioning from daytime to evening wear was unnecessary for any horse racing fans who attended the 23rd Annual Starlight Insurance Gala on May 6, because the event’s Run for the Roses theme was inspired by the day’s other big event: the 143rd running of the Kentucky Derby. The evening’s festivities, which included raffles and a silent auction, were in aid of the Starlight Children’s Foundation Canada, a charity “dedicated to bringing laughter, joy and hope back into the lives of children with serious illnesses.” Local TV newscaster Anwar Knight hosted the fete at Toronto’s Royal York Hotel.
