Just Say Yes - Charity Event, July 28th @ REVIVAL

Just Say Yes!

Hey Everyone,

Morgan Toomb's ginormous heart is doing a charity event to raise awareness for women living in the Ngong Hills slums (Kenya, Africa) who have HIV/AIDS. In the spirit of empowerment, genius Morgan and her posse (which includes the Lovely Lida) has come up with a cool scavenger hunt that's about unlocking your own personal liberations... it's called, "Just Say Yes." It's simple, you have people pledge something you want to unlock in your life and as you break barriers and reach achievements... you also raise money for the charity. It's like running 5km for Cancer - only it doesn't have to be about physical endurance but it can be about the emotional... Your Yes may be to break poor habits or tell your boss you want a raise (No one's getting a raise at HoC)... it's about doing something you always wanted to do but left on the back burner... Time to turn on the lights.

"Just Say Yes" let's people know what you've always wanted but to scared or busy to do... and they help you achieve it though awareness and your commitment. Download and print your free Just Say Yes BIB and sponsorship kit from www.justsayyesto.org (or pick a pledge package up from your friendly event organizers)
1) OR Donate to the cause! Can’t come to the event but want to get involved?

Donate online at http://justsayyesto.org/donate/

Or, mail a cheque to: Just Say YES! 280 Grace Street, Suite #1, Toronto, ON, M6G 3A6

2) OR Donate goods or services for our silent auction!

Contact Morgan @ joyfulmorgan@gmail.com

AND If anything else... DJ Jerms is spinning at the latter half... So whether you can donate or come out to support, we can all get together and have a good night out.

Thanks and PLEASE PASS ALONG!

Congrats to Wheels and Aikta

One of our very own got married a few weeks back. And while he's not at House of Cool or Red Rover now, we can still feel his devoted work effort he puts in day in and day out. Matty Whelan always puts 100% in everything he works on so it was no surprise when we saw this video made for his wedding.

We are all so happy for you and your beautiful wife, Aikta.

Congrats, hope you get to enjoy your honeymoon with no work interruptions.

Everyone at HoC.

PS - Luv those speeches and the bollywood dance pack!

Sometimes you just get ribbed

Contrary to popular belief, it's good to get ribbed once in a while... and who better then George Stroumboulopoulos (Strombo Show). Thought this was pretty rad. The Lebrons show HoC is working on got some good ol' Canadian National attention. The crew from House of Cool and Dru Dog are working hard to make one sweet show - cool suites and all.

Electric Playground

A few months back, the amazing Electric Playground people did an interview on our studio and the Co-Co Feature we are producing. As an added benefit, they let me do a spot on one of my favourite movies of last year. Check it out: I'm definitely not host material and they definitely made it look good. Special Thanks to Darcy!

Check this out!

Greg Court, Red Rover Director, and Christina Helmer, producer, did this most recent spot. Special thanks to Jason, Pepe, Steve, Britton and Brad for working on this mock spot. We love trying new techniques and seeing how far we can take them.
