jhrMobilizing Media. Changing Lives. | VERSION FRANÇAISE - BIENTÔT DISPONIBLE  
A huge thank you to everyone who came out for the 6th Annual Night for Rights! You helped us raise $30,000 in support of making everyone in the world aware of their human rights.

The night was packed with people and activity, including a drumming performance by Mutahdi and the World Drummers and an interpretive dance about human rights by the Crazyfish Collective. Upon arrival guests were greeted with Sundowners and served fried plantains and pastries from Teranga African Bar Restaurant throughout the evening. Those lucky enough to find the Field House marveled at jhr photography.

Special thanks to all our sponsors – especially CNW, Air Canada, SteamWhistle, Prince Igor Vodka, 40 Creek Whiskey and Mediaco – who made the evening possible. Your support has made a real difference in our ability to expand our work and reach out to more communities who need our help.
