Heard of guilt-free desserts? How about a 'feel good' feast?

With one meal on October 20 you can 'feast for the fight' in support of the Canadian Cancer Society.

TORONTO, Oct. 13 /CNW/ - Torontonians along parts of Yonge Street will have the chance to feel good while enjoying a night on the town with Feast for the Fight, a new fundraising event by the Canadian Cancer Society. Like a meal paired with fine wine, Feast for the Fight matches some of Toronto's finest restaurateurs with the country's leading cancer charity, culminating in a philanthropic dining experience.

"Feast for the Fight is a deliciously easy way to join the fight against cancer," says Guy Laporte, Director, Toronto Revenue Development, Canadian Cancer Society. "Join us for lunch or dinner and paint the town blue and yellow in support of a great cause."

Feast for the Fight takes place on October 20, and the concept is simple: patrons enjoy a meal at participating restaurants and the restaurateurs donate a portion of the meal proceeds to the Society.

The owner of Wildfire Steakhouse will set tables in support of the event, motivated by his own personal cancer story.

"My mom recently battled breast cancer and the one thing that has stayed strong is my family's fighting spirit. As a survivor she is an inspiration to me, and it means so much that we can be part of such a great cause," says Jody Ness, owner of Wildfire Steakhouse on Yonge Street. "I'm looking forward to enjoying the evening with new patrons and my regulars, knowing that we are all a part of a bigger fight."

Money raised through Feast for the Fight will help the Canadian Cancer Society fund research to outsmart cancer and empower, inform and support Canadians living with cancer. The Canadian Cancer Society makes the most impact, with Canadians, against cancer, for life.

The Canadian Cancer Society is a national community-based organization of volunteers whose mission is the eradication cancer and the enhancement of the quality of life of people living with cancer.
