Thank you URBANA supporters! Together we

raised $15,000 for Habitat for Humanity's

2009 Youth Build.

This year's party featured a live perspective altering performance of IF WALLS COULD TALK with Poet and Author, Oni the Haitian Sensation reminding guests of the benefits of volunteering and supporting community events. Check out one of Oni's performance poems from the event here...

Guests mingled to the sounds of Ottawa's Hottest Afro-Cuban Jazz Band RUMBAVANT, and one lucky guest won a trip for two to Whistler Mountain courtesy of WestJet & Uniglobe Premiere Travel.

Thank you to Sarah O'Neill for capturing the event in pictures:
