Playing mas for a good cause......

Hi readers,

I've noticed that a few bands this year are dedicating sections and even the entire band to worthwhile causes. If you haven't decided who you're playing mas with yet maybe a worthy cause can offer some inspiration.......

Band: Renaissance Mas
Section: A CURE

Renaissance Mas
We'll be donating a portion of the proceeds from those who register for our section to a Breast Cancer charity..PLAY MAS FOR A CAUSE!



Band: Toronto Revellers
Section: Lullaby
The Toronto Revellers have introduced another section "Lullaby". One of the characters from Munchkin Land, a Ballerina in a sea of Pink, led by Section Leader Giselle "The Wassi One" Blanche who alongside the Toronto Revellers will be supporting Breast Cancer Awareness. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to the local Toronto Chapter, not only will you enjoy the Scotiabank Caribbean Carnival with the Toronto Revellers, but you will be supporting the fight against Breast Cancer, a very worthy cause indeed!

Band: Tru Dynasty
Charities: The Sickle Association of Canada, The Princess Margaret Hospital Foundation, Convenant House, Caribbean Children's Foundation, Camp Awakening, Step Stones for Youth, Ronald McDonald House, Nellie's, Youth Challenge Fund.

TruDYNASTY will be the first band in the 43 year history of Caribana to donate a portion of funds to 9 different charities. Each costume section will be represented by a charity.
A formal cheque ceremony will take place in September with media coverage, sponsors and charities.
