Hibiscus and Rosehips

Prepare yourselves to be harassed into coming to this event.

The Hibiscus and Rosehips Folk Tea Party

Hibiscus and Rosehips was created to support the Lymphoma charity 'The Hibiscus Fund for Hope' with music community related events. The Hibiscus Fund supports people going through Lymphatic Cancer treatment in countless amazing ways that are not covered by the health system, to help ease the burden of what life turns into while undergoing Cancer treatment. They help provide drugs that are key to treatment that are not covered by OHIP and are incredibly expensive, along with helping single parents who suddenly find they need to have their children in day care and simply don't have the money. They make it possible for patient's families to be with them while undergoing treatment by helping to pay travel costs and lodging. They provide support in so many other overlooked areas to ease the difficulties of life while undergoing Cancer treatment.

The first event to raise money and awareness for the 'Hibiscus Fund For Hope' will be a Folk Tea Party Bake Sale in a Toronto art studio space. Musicians will strum and pluck and sing and cupcakes will be eaten with relish (Gusto! not the condiment). Some group hand clapping is fairly inevitable and locally produced crafts and jewelry and artwork will be available for perusal.

It will be a family friendly event and there will be colourful caffeine free tea and finger sandwiches with no crusts for younger tastes.

It will also be the release of the Hibiscus & Rosehips compilation Cd.
check the Cd page for more details.
