Charity Foundation, for Science Advances and Research Projects.
Agenda
The Sunnybrook Hospital Christmas Charity Gala will be held on Friday, December 11th, 2015 from

with an hour long cocktail and hors d’oeuvres reception. From there, guests will be directed into the
main ballroom where they will be seated at their selected sponsored tables. Welcoming speeches will

recognitions from 10:00pm to 10:30pm which will lead guests to proceed to the evening dance where

room. The total cost for the room rental on a Friday night is $1,600.00. A diagram of the floor plan
has been included for an easy view of the layout of the venue for this specific event.
Reception
The executive Chef at Estates of Sunnybrook will be preparing the selected menu choices for Hors
D’oeuvres and the main meal. For the cocktail hour it has been estimated that each person will
consume 5 pieces each within an hour. There is a variety of six Hor D’oeuvres that guests can choose
7
from as wait staffs circulate throughout the reception room. The selection of hot canapes include;
crispy fried vegetable spring rolls, spicy shrimp and chorizo sausage pops and spinach and onion
pakora served with tangy mint yogurt. As for the cold canapes a selection of east coast lobster with
dill aioli in a phyllo pastry, goat cheese rolled in toasted almonds with sundried cranberry jam and
peking duck crepe with a hoisin dip will be served. Based on the number of attendees and the
estimated number of 5 pieces per person, a total of 750 pieces will be ordered and prepared. A simple
breakdown for each hor d’oeuvres will be 125 of each at a price of $3.60/piece.
Main Dinner
After guests have settled into the main ballroom at each of their assigned tables the main dinner
service will begin, consisting of three courses including; soup, main entree and dessert. The soup that
has been selected as the starter for this meal is a Roasted Red Bell Pepper and Tomato Puree costing
$8.75 per person for all 150 guests. At this time dinner rolls which are included in the dinner pricing
will be placed at each table in bun baskets for the guests. The meals will all be pre-selected prior to
the event by each attendee so the number of each main course will be determined ahead of time thus
reducing the cost and waste during this function. The first entree option is a Skillet Seared Atlantic
Salmon which will be ordered for 50 people at $45.50 a person. The second option is a Stuffed
Chicken Breast Supreme which will be prepared for 75 people which costs $37.50 per person. The
final entree option that is available is a Penne Pasta dish which is for anyone with specific dietary

plate of fresh seasonal fruit will be served at a cost of $12.00 per person. This specially selected
menu prepared by the in house Chef will cost a total of $8,986.00. It was also decided that since
dinner is being held later in the evening from 8:00pm to approximately 10:00pm that no late night
snack services will be needed.
Beverages
For this Christmas Charity Gala several types of beverages will be available during the reception
hour, dinner as well as during the evening dance. For the welcoming reception hour, a non-alcoholic
Christmas themed punch will be served to each guest as they settle in. The punch will be made of
Cranberry juice and sparkling water served in a champagne flute garnished with a decorative lime
wedge. The venue suggests that 1 gallon serves 20 guests so 8 gallons will be purchased for $440.00
to ensure there is enough for each guest arriving. During dinner, the bar will be closed to ensure that
the alcohol consumption is minimized as it is a charity gala. Two bottles of a house White Pinot
Grigio and a house Red Cabernet Sauvignon will be placed at each table of 10. These Italian wines
will cost $42.00 a bottle and there will be a total of 60 bottles of wine. As the dance begins for the
8
evening the bar will be opening and providing a host style service. The cost for this is priced at
$35.00 per person for the Premium bar package. Included in the Premium package is premium brand
liquors such as rye, rum, vodka, gin and scotch. Premium liqueurs are also available which include
Kahlua, Cointreau and Baileys. Domestic and imported beer choices will be available as well as the
same house wines that were provided during dinner services. A selection of varied soft drinks, juices
and sparkling waters will be available for those looking for a non-alcoholic option. The bar package
includes 5 hours of service however only 2 hours will be used, again to minimize the amount of
alcohol consumption as the Gala is being held as a charity event.
Entertainment
Good Vibrations DJ services will be providing the music during the entire evening for the gala. This
is an award winning DJ service that provides clients with over 30,000 songs in digital form which
consists of songs ranging from early 1950’s to today’s top hits. The package is priced at $999.00 plus
taxes which includes; a full sound system, wireless microphone, complex light systems for the dance
floor as well as spot lights. Transportation, setup and teardown are also included in the price. There
will be a mix of Christmas and soft music during the reception and dinner. During the dance there
will be mix of genres to satisfy each guest's taste. Good Vibrations greatly welcomes all song
requests throughout the evening.
Staff
Ensuring there is enough staff to cover all of the service needs throughout this event is very important.
It was decided that one of the three employees from MAC Event Planning will be in charge of
welcoming the guests as they arrive. MAC Event planning will also be responsible for the setup and
tear down of the event to ensure that it is tailored exactly to the client’s specifications. One supervisor
will be overseeing the service staff and will be scheduled to be at the venue for a total of eight hours.
It was decided that fifteen servers will be scheduled to ensure that each guest is provided with
outstanding service throughout dinner. Two servers will be scheduled two hours earlier to serve hor
d'oeuvres and cocktails during the reception hour. Two bartenders will also be needed for three hours
which includes time for them to prep their bar and tear down afterwards. There will also be one
employee running a coat check for seven hours to ensure that guest’s coats, purses etc. are safely
stored.
Supplies Rental
For this Christmas Charity Gala, lots of supplies will be rented in order to successfully execute the
event. Chairman Mills is one of the largest, most successful event supply rental company in Canada,
so it was an easy choice when planning for the Gala. Six high top tables which stand 42” high will be
needed for the reception/cocktail hour as well as 15 round tables which seat 10 guests will be needed
9
for dinner and speeches. Gold Chiavari chairs will help tie in the Christmas theme through decor with
the red linen for the tables and the gold linen napkins. One bar front and back will be needed for the
evening, as well as all of the glassware for the appropriate drinks that will be provided so wine
glasses, water glasses and champagne glasses will be needed which must be ordered by the dozen.
All of the plate ware and cutlery will be needed for this event as well, and it will be coordinated with
the Christmas theme. Dinner plates, side plates, soup bowls, saucers, and tea cups are all china that
will need to be supplied. Regal gold dinner knives, dinner forks, butter knives, soup spoons, teaspoons
and dessert forks will also be needed for each attendee’s place setting. All plates must be ordered in
sets of 5 and cutlery must be ordered in sets of 10. Paper napkins will also need to be supplied from
Chairman Mills for the cocktail hour for the service of hor d'oeuvres and punch. Bun baskets will be
on each table for dinner service so 15 will be needed in total. Eight gold gallery trays will be used for
the service and clearing of all glassware and 15 round waitress trays will also be needed for the
service of dinner and clearing of all chinaware. The total cost for all of the supplies needed for the
cocktail reception, dinner and dance is $4,838.16. Chairman Mills also provides delivery and pick up
for commercial orders over $200.00 for a charge of $100.00 however setup is not included.
