The Symes
Known for being one of Toronto’s premier venues for charity, private, and corporate events, The Symes came alive for the jungle-themed party. The expansive open-concept space was beautifully decorated with sponsor booths, bars, food stations, and a stage, creating the perfect setting for this charity event.
Custom Jungle Menu
Year after year, TOBEN has had the pleasure of catering the POGO PJ Party, each year presenting a new menu perfectly matched to the theme. This year, guests were first treated to a range of “Welcome to the Jungle” hors d’oeuvres, followed by “We’re Going on a Safari” food stations, and concluding with “Into the Wild” dessert stations.
Something for the Eyes
The striking feature that every guest undoubtedly snapped a pic of, was the intricate cheetah ice sculpture that served Tito’s Vodka signature cocktail through a luge down the centre of the sculpture. In addition to the incredible ice sculpture, the entertainment had guests dancing and singing the night away.
In Support of an Important Cause
The POGO PJ Party is the foundation’s signature event and raises critical funds for childhood cancer care. The 2024 event raised $370,000, contributing to a total of over $2.1M raised to support children and youth in treatment, their families, and survivors of childhood cancer.
