Tea for Blu
A Signature BLU Event in support of Blu Genes Foundation, TEA FOR BLU is an elegantly crafted afternoon of socializing, delicious traditional tea service, fun activations with special guest medical superstars. Tea for Blu is hosted at iconic and beautiful hotels in Toronto to provide a stylish and sophisticated experience for our sponsors and guests. We have had the opportunity to experience the St. Regis Toronto, The King Edward Hotel, Toronto and The Four Seasons Hotel, Toronto. Our fourth annual Tea for Blu took place on Sunday, April 7, 2024. Our Tea for Blu 2024 was a great success. We raised $205,000 thanks to our sponsors and guests. At the event, guests were able to learn firsthand of the impact Blu Genes continues to have on advancing research for rare disease. Dr. Ivakine spoke to our guests about the ongoing Tay-Sachs disease research at SickKids. This research is only possible because of continued support by our Blu Genes sponsors, donors and guests of our Tea for Blu. SAVE THE DATE and join us on Sunday, April 13th, 2025 at the luxurious Shangri-La hotel, Toronto and help us realize a treatment for Tay-Sachs Disease.
