Early Bird Tickets on sale now at www.tealpower.ca
TORONTO, April 28, 2017 /CNW/ - The details of TEALPOWER's second annual fundraising and awareness-raising event were announced today by Tyler Puley, TEALPOWER's co-founder. TEALPOWER presents: Heart to heART, is an epic journey into the entertainment art world. Featuring a live painting competition where the winner is determined by the guests, this inspirational night, which also offers guests a night of live music, food, an interactive art installation, and an incredible silent auction takes place May 25th, 2017 beginning at 7:00 pm, at Free Space, 68 Claremont Street. Tickets can be purchased at www.tealpower.ca. TEALPOWER was established by Puley and late Toronto publicist Alison Salinas, who after being diagnosed with cervical cancer became determined to educate Canadians about this largely unknown cancer. Now, TEALPOWER continues to raise awareness and funds to help fight the disease.
E! and Much host Tyrone Edwards brings his unique personality, versatility, and fluid MC abilities to TEALPOWER presents: Heart to heART as the evening's host. The interactive and exclusive party features three top artists from Art Battle Canada painting live for guests, battling it out centre stage for two 30-minute rounds. The intense competition will culminate with guests voting for the winning pieces of artwork. Attendees will then have the chance to bid on all the artwork, along with dozens of additional items in the TEALPOWER silent auction. Well-known Toronto DJ Chuck Vindaloo will be spinning Hip Hop, R&B, and Top 40 to accompany the battle and the party throughout the night.
"Our goal in establishing the TEALPOWER presents… initiative was to create a tent-pole annual event, that is a carefully curated and memorable experience for our guests, while motivating people of all ages, backgrounds and genders to get involved to raise cervical cancer awareness and education," said Tyler Puley, co-founder, TEALPOWER. "With TEALPOWER presents: Heart to heART, we are building on the momentum of last year's event and with the support of our amazing sponsors, we're well on the way to meeting our goal."
"It's truly a privilege to MC this art battle and do my part to raise awareness for the TEALPOWER movement," said Tyrone Edwards, E! and Much Host. "It's going to be an energizing night to remember, and one that I know will raise significant funds to fight the disease."
