Thank You for lending a helping hand!
The It Factor was excited to execute the 12th annual 5km Jam-walk and Brunch, which took place Sunday, September 26. Once again, the tented courtyard patio of the Palais Royale provided the perfect outdoor setting to unite and celebrate #OneLove safely.
We are very proud to announce that with the sponsors support and fundraising efforts, HHJF reached a fundraising goal of $50,000! Despite the challenges we all have faced, you chose to lend a helping hand and invest in the future of Jamaica’s children in need. For this, we are grateful.
The reality of COVID-19 is still upon us, yet we were all able to safely unite despite the restrictions our team was required to implement. From the feedback we have received, every participant felt the welcoming spirit of Jamaica as they were greeted with reggae music, strolled along the picturesque waterfront trail, received their limited edition Spread Love t-shirt and a delicious brunch to-go.

Helping Hands Jamaica Foundation's Jam-walk
Thank You for lending a helping hand!
The It Factor was excited to execute the 12th annual 5km Jam-walk and Brunch, which took place Sunday, September 26. Once again, the tented courtyard patio of the Palais Royale provided the perfect outdoor setting to unite and celebrate #OneLove safely.
We are very proud to announce that with the sponsors support and fundraising efforts, HHJF reached a fundraising goal of $50,000! Despite the challenges we all have faced, you chose to lend a helping hand and invest in the future of Jamaica’s children in need. For this, we are grateful.
The reality of COVID-19 is still upon us, yet we were all able to safely unite despite the restrictions our team was required to implement. From the feedback we have received, every participant felt the welcoming spirit of Jamaica as they were greeted with reggae music, strolled along the picturesque waterfront trail, received their limited edition Spread Love t-shirt and a delicious brunch to-go.

School Build #24 - Jamaica
We are excited to manage the 24th school build of Helping Hands Jamaica Foundation this summer in Portland, Jamaica. Goodwill Early Childhood Learning Centre is desperately seeking assistance to upgrade its infrastructure so that it can receive recognition and certification from the Ministry of Education under which early childhood institutions should operate in Jamaica. HHJF is donating the funds to build the new school building, with all the required amenities that are currently lacking, would help to fulfil the school's most urgent needs.

Diwali, Festival of Lights Gala 2014
The It Factor was happy to be event manager again this year adding the event décor contract to our host of responsibilities for the Trillium Health Partners Foundation who hosted another highly successful annual Diwali Gala, raising close to $850,000. These funds went towards their specialized cancer program which sees and treats close to 5,000 patients annually. This years' Diwali Gala saw the transformation of the Pearson Convention Center into a luxurious and ornate Royal Palace. As guests arrived they were escorted into a foyer where traditional live Indian music was performed, Indian sweets and appetizers were served, and temporary Mehndi tattoos - traditional henna body art of India - were provided for interested guests. Throughout the evening guests were dazzled by the spectacular performances of the Shiamak Davar's Toronto Dance Team and the extremely talented Bhangra singer Jazzy B.
