Laura had the honour of performing with Joe Sexton and
his Piece of The Rock Band at The Mike Quinn Benefit at The Balmy
Beach Canoe Club. Mike was the owner of QUINN'S on the Danforth
in the 80's. This was one of the first clubs that Laura, David Hines and
Russ Blakely started their path to running thousands of Jam Nights in
Toronto. Unfortunatley Mike met with an errant wave in Mexico that left
him face down in the ocean with 3 cracked vertabrae. Luckily Mike's son
was able to save him from the ocean and after a one day stay at hospital
and an emergency flight back to Toronto the family footed a bill of over
$50,000.00
It was great to see so many old friends and Mike's family gather together to
help them out.
It was an amazing day with tears and smiles. Hundreds of people paid $50 a
ticket, bought raffle tickets, bidded on amazing silent and regular auction
items and
generally just kept putting money into the pot.
The event was co-hosted by Jeff Chalmers of 925JackFM and City TV's Mark Dailey.
Entertainment included comedian Ron James, entertainers Joe Sexton and his Piece
the Rock Band, John Prince and Frank Wilks.
Mike is recovering in small steps and is gradually regaining the use of his
limbs.
If you would like to make a donation cheques can be made out to "Jennifer
Mitchell
in trust for Michael Quinn" and sent to Canada Trust 2044 Queen St. E. Br. #392
Account # 6332066
We wish you the best of luck Mike!
