Love to the Motherland: Jamaica x Philippines Relief Fundraiser

Jamaica and the Philippines are the motherland to hundreds of thousands in their respective diasporas within the Greater Toronto Area. As we know, natural disasters (Hurricane Melissa and Super Typhoon Uwan/Tino) have recently ravaged both countries, displacing countless human lives and obliterating homes.

As privileged Canadians, DJs Fly Lady Di and Pogi decided to come together in effort to raise funds towards disaster relief through an unforgettable night of incredible music and vibes. With countless prizes to be won through our tantalizing raffle along with irresistible grooves - our initiative can't miss - and neither should you!
