Glen Peloso and Jamie Alexander host the Best Bash Ever in support of The Peer Project (Youth Assisting Youth)

The first annual Best Bash Ever (Nov. 20, 2014) – hosted by celebrity interior design gurus Glen Peloso and Jamie Alexander – with food stations from around the globe, by Scotiabank’s executive chef Rolando Oreiro, is helping support a unique peer-mentoring program for at-risk and newcomer GTA youth.

Glen and Jamie of Peloso Alexander Interiors look forward to welcoming everyone to the 63rd floor of Toronto’s iconic Scotia Plaza (40 King Street West) at 6 p.m. for an intimate evening of culinary exploration and philanthropy.

“We are really excited to be able to host this event for the Peer Project,” says Glen Peloso. “We are both aware of the value of mentoring and know that we have been blessed with great mentors in our lives.”

“‘A stitch in time saves nine’ is something our ancestors would say. The Peer Project is that stitch for countless kids,” says Jamie Alexander. “But more help – much more help – is needed.”

Diverse Food

Scotiabank’s executive chef Rolando Oreiro, reflecting the diversity of Toronto, promises an imaginative array of food stations adorned with holiday fare from around the globe. (Working journalists are welcomed to enjoy the food and drinks as our guests.)

About the Peer Project

The Peer Project is a non-profit charitable organization that provides a unique peer mentoring service to improve the life prospects of at-risk and newcomer children in the GTA. They match children ages 6-15 with trained and dedicated Youth Volunteer Mentors ages 16-29, who act as positive role models. The Peer Project has over 1,400 active mentors/mentees but still has a waiting list of 400 kids and a great need for more male volunteers
