Though the event has ended, we are still accepting donations as well as collecting payments for the auction items that were won on the #hoHOTo Hangover Auction. Please process your payments by selecting the item which you won through your winning bid.
On behalf of the entire hoHOTo gang, we want to thank you for your generousity and support. You continue to amaze and inspire us. Your contribution has helped us not only surpass any goal that we could have imagined, but allowed Daily Bread Food Bank feed thousands in need in our community.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
We are back again with our summer addition! HoHOTo is a fund-raising party for the Daily Bread Food Bank, taking place at Wetbar & Suite 106 (106 Peter St), Tuesday, August 18. Check it out at hohoto.ca!
Join us at the #hoHOTo summer camp. Do you really think that we geeks could resist the chance to run a summer camp?
Cash bar, DJ's, phoHOTo booth and lots of twitterluvvin' -- same as December's festivities, but we have even more planned. It's for geeks, phreaks, webheads, twitterfiends, techies, media, marketing, and PR types and all their friends. And everyone else! DJ's, interactive media, and loads of holiday cheer, all for a great cause - The Toronto Daily Bread Food Bank.
Why the Toronto Daily Bread Food Bank? Because:
"A new report released today by the Ontario Association of Food Banks (OAFB) revealed that there has been an alarming increase in the number of persons turning to food banks in Ontario since last fall. Between September 2007 and September 2008, food banks in Ontario have reported an average increase of 13 per cent in the number of neighbours turning to them for support."
Tickets are limited, so please book as soon as you can. We are going to raise the ticket price as follows
First 200 tickets are $10 each,
Next 100 tickets are $20 each,
Next 50 tickets are $30 each,
And the last 50 tickets are $40 each...
So buy your tickets NOW.
And you can donate to the Food Bank by buying the "I want to contribute to The Daily Bread Food Bank" class above. All proceeds from ticket sales and all other funds raised, net of event costs, will go to the Food Bank. The Mod Club is very generously waiving almost all facility costs, so apart from Eventbrite and Paypal costs, and food and beverage costs, almost all the money raised will go to the Food Bank. (You can also donate directly at their website.)
As most third party campaigns avoid the summer due to vacation schedules and such, we will be one of the daring few to host an event for The Daily Bread at this time of year. There is still a need as you can appreciate. The work that we do as a community will have as great an impact for those in need -- as it did in December. We appreciate your continued support.

Hohoto is an example of the power of self-organizing online groups, the Toronto technology, digital marketing and social media communities came together through their Twitter streams in December to create what lwas one of the biggest and most exciting Holiday gatherings of 2008. We are at it again for the summer of 2009. Basically, we are a bunch of folks who like to do fun, useful things.
