This legendary fundraiser for the Canadian Cancer Society saluted Pablo Picasso in its decor, entertainment and menu. Themes included Spain, primary colors and cubism.

A cascading Picasso mobile of seven cubes dominated the cocktail area, while cubist-shaped tables, custom-made Picasso ceramic chargers, and three different over-the-top Picasso-inspired centerpieces created eye-catching dining-room decor.

Other highlights were nuevo flamenco entertainment and dinner courses presented as works of art.

The record-breaking 21^st annual fund/friend-raising gala kicked off the world premiere of “Dogs! A Science Tail”--a traveling exhibition curated by the California Science Center.

Dogs played a big role in the festivities.

For cocktails, the team created a playful “puppy love” setting followed by an elegant seated dinner in a “London park” filled with fireflies, weeping willows and pastel English roses.

After dinner, party-goers enjoyed an electric nightclub environment imagined as an oversized dog house, with upholstered hot-pink fun-fur walls and dog-themed desserts.

Montreal’s Fondation Jeunes En Tête--which supports youth mental health programs--hosted its annual Valentine’s Fundraiser Ball, themed to "Amazonia" with help from Cava Rose.

A total of 620 guests attended the gala event, held inside Windsor Station,

Beautiful place settings.

With lush greenery, native birds and a floor-to-ceiling video-mapped projection of a waterfall, guests were transported into an Amazon rainforest as they sipped custom cocktails and bid on luxurious auction items.
