TORONTO--(Marketwire - Nov 8, 2011) - It will be a gala event of exceptional importance at one of the premier hotels near Toronto Airport as fundraisers gather to support a great cause.

Everyone is invited and encouraged to embrace this year's "Miracle at the Marriott" and the effort to improve children's health in Canada.

A distinctive choice among hotels in Mississauga and the surrounding Toronto area, the Toronto Airport Marriott hotel has long been involved in supporting the Children's Miracle Network and its work in providing assistance to sick children and their families. Hosting this annual fundraising event is just another way the Toronto Airport Marriott can extend a helping hand to children in need.

SickKids is Canada's most research-intensive hospital and the largest facility dedicated to improving children's health in the country.

In extending an invitation on behalf of Children's Miracle Network and the SickKids Foundation, the Marriott welcomes participation of individuals, businesses and corporate entities to help make this year's event an overwhelming success. Featuring entertainment by Jack de Keyzer, Juno Award Winner for 'Blues Album of the Year,' guests are ensured first class entertainment throughout the evening, with Sass Jordan, also a Juno Award Winner and winner of Billboard's 'Best Female Rock Vocalist,' serving as emcee. Individual tickets are $155 and those who wish to attend are encouraged to extend invitations to their circle of friends, family and business associates to make the event the largest charitable networking experience possible. The goal of this year's event is to fill this fine Toronto Airport hotel's luxury event space to its capacity.
