On October 16, 2010, get ready to boogie down at the Kool Haus for a great cause!

Approximately 445 Canadian women will be diagnosed with breast cancer weekly and 100 will not survive it. 1 in 9 women is expected to develop breast cancer during her lifetime (age 90) and 1 in 28 will die from it. Breast cancer doesn’t only affect women, it affects everyone, which is why we want you to come to BOOBYBALL!!

THE CAUSE

Boobyball started in 2002 by a group of women to support their friend Sara O’Regan who was only 23 when she was diagnosed with aggressive, advanced breast cancer. Boobyball is now one of the most high-profile fundraising events for young philanthropists in Toronto, having raised close to a million dollars for Rethink Breast Cancer and other breast cancer organizations. This year the committee is dedicated to raise record-breaking funds! There will also be an eBay auction happening between October 11 until November 1.

In our upcoming issue, we tackle the issue of inter-racial dating. What role does race play in the dating game? Read an excerpt from our latest feature, written by Sharon Cromwell here:

“…things worsen as time goes on; new traits are added as old traits fade into the shadows. As you discover more about yourself, you begin to demand more and more of your future partner: spirituality, wealth, a sense of humour, intelligence, and the list goes on. Instant complexity increase follows when you start looking for your future spouse, the person that you will not only spend the rest of your life with, but will determine what your children will act and look like.

Amidst the confusion, however, there still lurks that little girl/boy inside who dreams of being swept of their feet by the “Perfect” person. Maybe you still want your man to be tall, who doesn’t want a guy at least their height in heels? And of course he must be handsome, physical attraction is, to some extent, mandatory for a healthy relationship. But what about ‘the dark’ criterium? How important is skin colour? Or for men does skin color matter as long as the person has a great bod?

In a place like Toronto, where multiculturalism defines the culture of the city, where ‘eclectic’ is the only consistent characteristic, I can’t help but wonder, how strictly are Torontonians staying within the racial confines when it comes to dating. Where a Sikh is best friends with a Muslim, a German with a Jew, a Scotsman with a Jamaican, how prominent is race and ethnicity in limiting or extending our social relations, including our intimate relationships?”
