ENDOWMENT - A Toronto School of Burlesque Fundraiser
In the tail end of 2015 the school was hit with a forced relocation, a higher cost studio, moving fees, and all the costs the renovation contributed to. It killed us. Or nearly did! This charity show (where all the performers were paid! Cause we roll like that) contributed to brand new signage and supplies required to keep us up and running. THANK YOU. Thank you to the audience and to the performers for being a part of this and helping us through <3
