Held annually at the Fairmont Royal York in Toronto, guests are guided through several spaces and experiences throughout the night. The LIMITLESS brand is always brought to life through poignant signage, stunning decor and curated sponsor moments. 

The evening begins with a cocktail and canapé reception. Guests can take a photo at the step and repeat [and on occasion with some famous trophies] and mingle with Special Olympic athletes as well as some of Canada’s top professional and amateur athletes. The silent auction and a raffle are open at this time where guests can bid on tablets and purchase raffle tickets as they pursue the selection of auction items. Sponsor opportunities have included a Coca-Cola “The Perfect Pour” station, vehicle tours, and interviews by two of TSN’s top sports broadcasters and SOC ambassadors Jennifer Hedger and Rob Black.

From the reception space guests make their way to the main dining hall for dinner and the main program. Pre-Covid the foyer was lined with professional and amature athletes and Olympians who cheered and high-fived guests as they made their way creating palpable energy and excitement. Post-Covid, the energy is still electric, just done with more personal space!

During an exceptional three course meal, guest are treated to a bevy of entertainment, speakers, and SOC ambassadors who over the years have included singers, drummers, choirs, brass bands, break dancers, sportscasters, TV personalities, Olympians and Special Olympics Athletes in addition to Professional Athletes [to name just a few!]. Post dinner service, the guests participate in the live auction and  “Draft an Athlete” portions of the program. “Draft an Athlete” supports hundreds of Special Olympics Team Canada athletes each year competing in the upcoming Special Olympic Games. This perfectly woven program story is told with emotion, heart, enthusiasm and is always met with a standing ovation, or two. 

Fed and emotionally fulfilled, it’s time to dance and network the night away at the official after party in the now flipped reception space. Through the years, entertainment acts have included dueling piano acts, local celebrity DJ’s and popular dance bands that keep the dance floor packed, while guest play in branded photo booths executed in every style including with classic hashtag cutouts and 360 motion capture experiences over the years. 

We have fostered a strong relationship and reputation of excellence with SOC. Each year we have delivered programming that raises more funds than the last!

In 2021 we kept the LIMITLESS spirit alive with LIMITLESS at Home! All of the same show and auction production from the comfort and safety of guest’s homes [including the guest interaction through video and chats]. The highlight was the custom branded and curated box that each guest was delivered prior to the event day containing a stunning printed program and all of the snacks and beverages required to indulge in during the show.
