Hope Starts With You - Silver Ball 2014


We wanted to pause this busy week and take a moment to recognize all of the participants and supporters of the 21st annual Silver Ball for Providence Healthcare. 


At Providence, every day is made up of moments. And last Saturday night, we collectively shared a big one at our “party with a purpose”…the accomplishment of raising $1,000,000 net of all expenses - funding that will go directly back to support the exceptional care at Providence Healthcare.

Sailing Away with MAPP



Excitement is still in the water after the 2nd annual 'Providence Cup' Sailing Regatta!
This months MAPP event was simply amazing! The weather was beautiful, the boats were fantastic and simply the best company to have around. 



And the winners are…
 
First Place: Geoff Cornish’s “Rouleur”
Second Place: David Burn’s “Madam Caprice”, captained this year by Peter Southall
Third Place: Michel Viau’s “French Toast”



With these skilled (and generous) Captains leading MAPP donors and their guest to victory, everyone was able to enjoy the gorgeous weather and a spectacular view of the city as they cruised around Toronto Harbour.



 
Last night’s event would not have been possible without the generosity of our MAPP ‘Providence Cup’ Regatta sponsors. A big thanks goes out to all of our sponsors and donors.



We also could not have orchestrated this event without our co-chairs Dr. Peter Nord and Mike McLaughlin, whose tireless efforts to organize the sails is so greatly appreciated. As well, we would like to thank the 16 Captains who donated their time and opened their boats to all our MAPP donors and guest to ensure this year’s event was a successful one.



If you or any of your guests would like to learn more about MAPP, please contact Emily Dawson…or click here to register to become a MAPP donor!

Once again, thank you to everyone for making last night so spectacular.

Awards Season for JB's Too



Awards and commendations are not only flattering, they are a nice reminder that hard work has achieved the ultimate goal: satisfied Guests. They are also a chance to take a moment to reflect on the efforts made to get to this point. At Jawny Bakers we know that the awards we have received over this past year are not simply down to two people owning and operating a restaurant, but rather as a result of all the great things our and loyal and giving staff do and of course, our valued patrons who choose to include us in their relaxation time with friends and families.   

So, as summer draws to a close, we wanted to take a moment to brag a little and, on behalf of our excellent front-of-house servers, our talented kitchen staff and our devoted customers, tell you about our recent recognitions.  

For those of you who live in the area, you’ll know the reputation of the East York Mirror as a weekly staple for local news, events and public opinion. Every year the paper polls their 40,000+ readers to rate the best service providers in the community under a variety of categories. Under their Food and Drink banner, Jawny Baker’s did extremely well. And given we’re a locally owned and operated restaurant up against large chains with national brand recognition, we are especially proud to have stood out so distinctly.  Here are some of the highlights:


Best Restaurant Atmosphere – DIAMOND
Best All-Round Restaurant – GOLD
Best Family Restaurant – SILVER 
Best Local Pub – SILVER
Best Outdoor Patio – SILVER

and for the very first time, we received awards from the Beach Mirror Readers:

Best All-Round Restaurant – GOLD

Even we’re impressed! While it is great that some of our menu items are so popular, what means most personally is that, overall, Jawny Bakers is giving our Guests a great overall experience. Continuing to create an environment that’s welcoming and comfortable has been our goal since setting out on this adventure 20 years ago. It means a lot to everyone at Jawny Bakers that people choose us over all other venues to enjoy their meals and relax with drinks. So from all of us at Jawny Bakers we thank you, the people we love to make happy. 

However, we’ve never been ones to rest on our laurels. We know that the only way to earn customer appreciation is to keep honing our ability to meet diners needs on a regular and ever-changing basis. By responding to your requests, frequently elevating our healthy and innovative menu features, and improving restaurant, bar, lounge and patio spaces, we continue to please you. 

So please don’t hesitate to offer your thoughts and recommendations next time you’re in. We look forward to seeing you again very soon.

BEST TOURNAMENT IN THE CITY CELEBRATES 20 YEARS!

Thanks to Providence Healthcare Foundation for putting on another incredible event! Here is the summary from this past Monday's golf tournament successes posted below.


The 20th anniversary celebration of the Ken & Nancy Shaw Providence Golf Classic was the most successful tournament in our history - raising an impressive $180,000 (net) for Providence Healthcare! We are so grateful to all of our generous sponsors, donors and supporters, who provide some of the resources necessary to continue Providence’s legacy of exceptional care long into the future. A heartfelt thanks goes out to the Founders of the Providence Golf Classic - Gus Arrigo, Bill Cooke and Dusty Miklas - who began this tradition of excellence and who continue to be an integral part of the tournament’s success. Click here to learn more about Providence. 


As our most devoted ambassadors, we thank you for not only helping to ensure this special day was a resounding fundraising success for Providence, but also for spreading the word and cultivating those all-important relationships within our community. Please accept our great appreciation for the essential work you do and the measurable difference you are making at Providence Healthcare. 


Coppinwood Golf Club was a golfer’s paradise! The challenges of the course blended with the natural beauty of the Ontario landscape. It was a wonderful and memorable day, dedicated to a shared purpose: to honour a tournament that has stood the test of time, and to provide the best golf experience ever! Here are some of the highlights from our 20thanniversary celebration:
·         Generous sponsors, donors and volunteers came together for Providence to make our tournament simply unforgettable. View our list of our sponsors here.
·         Honouring the tournament founders and long-time supporters at the award ceremony. Read the founders’ touching story here.
·         Special thanks to PGC Chair, George Macri, Vice-Chair, Tom Zoras, and the PGC Committee for their valued contributions and time spent preparing for this milestone event.
·         Emcee Ken Shaw shared his personal message with guests; how he first became involved with the PGC tournament (over 15 years ago!); and what inspires him to continue to support Providence.
·         Reptilia brought a collection of exotic reptiles, amphibians and even a few arachnids for golfers to observe and touch…if they dared!
·         Two incredible Hole-In-One contest holes, each with a chance to win an Audi luxury vehicle, sponsored by PFAFF Audi. View the PFAFF Audi website here.
·         Special treats along the course that included: Molson Coors beer and Jack Daniel’s “Country Cocktail” tasting, a mojito station, fish tacos, beef sliders and ice cream sandwiches.

All that we do would not be possible without the help of our community, family and friends. Thank you for your support of the Ken & Nancy Shaw Providence Golf Classic, and the patients, residents and clients of Providence Healthcare. We will always remember the cherished moments and the excitement of the day.
We look forward to seeing you next year at our 21st annual Ken & Nancy Shaw Providence Golf Classic in August 2015!
 
Warmest regards,
Jennifer, Brianna, Dara and the Providence Healthcare Foundation team!

What a memorable evening at this year's Cuisine & CuvĂ©e. With so much great food, many cool attractions and and so many amazing people to talk to, it was tough to enjoy it all, but we sure did our best!

Even more importantly, the event was a resounding fundraising success for the important work taking place at Providence Healthcare!


Jawny Bars' Lobster roll was a sparkling success, with many guests announcing their enjoyment of the dish, even on social media.

Here are some more pics from the wonderful event!

   






























And here are some of the event highlights from Providence Healthcare Foundation.

A Lively Beer Tasting


Generous supporters of Providence Healthcare soak up a lively beer tasting by Roger Mittag, ‘Professor of Beer’ with Thirst Knowledge Inc! More than 50 friends of Providence enjoyed a night at John Labatt Hall, hosted by George Macri, Chair of the Providence Golf Classic Committee. 


George purchased this amazing prize at a Providence silent auction last year and wanted to find a unique way to celebrate with his friends and family. 



The auction prize was donated by Labatt’s and Jawny Bakers Restaurant and raised $2,600 for Providence! An amazing night that will be fondly remembered by all in attendance. Thanks George!
