Founded in 1968, Toronto Accolades is an all-female a cappella choral group singing four-part harmony in the barbershop style. We are members of Harmony, Inc., an international organization promoting friendship and personal growth through music and music education. Our repertoire includes a variety of music, both old and new, fast and slow. We put on shows, compete at Harmony, Inc. annual contests, and perform within the community. Please browse through our website to find out more about us.
OLG CHARITABLE GAMING CENTRE
The funds we have received from volunteering at the Kennedy Road Gaming Centre have allowed us to give substantial Christmas donations to several worthwhile causes again this year, including Neighbourlink North York, North York Harvest Food Bank, Salvation Army Toronto, and North York Women's Shelter. (See photos on the Latest News page.)
Local charitable gaming centres have raised over $90 million for charities and non-profit groups over the past year alone. If you belong to a charitable or non-profit organization looking for new fundraising opportunities, take a look at this link and consider volunteering at one of Ontario's Charitable Gaming Centres for a few hours a month in return for a share of their proceeds. https://www.globalheroes.com/successful-fundraising-with.../
