Spinning Your Wheels for a Great Cause

By mesh news

SpinTO is a fundraising project that kicks off with a party on May 15 celebrating the Friends for Life Bike Rally from Toronto to Montreal in support of the Toronto People with AIDS Foundation.

Last Thursday evening, our friend and Microsoft developer evangelist, David Crow personally donated $500 to the Toronto People With AIDS Foundation through our SpinTO project. With that donation, he issued a challenge via Twitter.

We saw that challenge, and wanted to offer our support to spinTO and David’s effort. Soon, Idée Inc. CEO and long-time HIV/AIDS advocate Leila Boujnane, David Suydam of Architech Solutions and Jaimie MacPherson of Mischief Media joined in on the effort.

All told, within a few hours in one evening we raised over $3,000 to help men, women and children living with HIV/AIDS through the work of the Toronto People With AIDS Foundation.

The challenge still stands, but we also encourage you to join the community at an event that will make a difference for others. On May 15, join us at the spinTO at Mod Club. It is sure to be a great night for a great cause.
