War Child Canada’s third annual Busking For CHANGE is back! On International Peace Day September 21st, celebrated musicians will be taking their music to the streets of downtown Toronto to help raise money for children whose lives have been torn apart by war. Money collected on site and through online donations will support War Child, an award winning charity that provides humanitarian assistance to children and families affected by war.
In the last year musicians in Toronto, Calgary, Montreal and Vancouver took to the streets to help War Child raise over $100,000 for war affected children in some of the most devastated regions of the world.
Coalition artists Ashes, Barlow, and Raine Maida will be participating at this year’s event. Support your favourite Busking For CHANGE artist(s) NOW!
