We brush now to the kaleidoscopic Taj Lake Palace-themed ninth annual Let’s Bond Urban Ball at Salon 1861 where it was another next-level showing for the young and dynamic squad behind the popular benefit ball. As is tradition, the night was alight in all kinds of party perks including a VIP cocktail dinatoire for partners, sponsors and major patrons (think flowing drinks and a gaggle of haute foodie stations from treasured donors including Bird Bar, Bord’Elle, Makro, Bar George and many others) as well as a fun fest to follow where great tunes by DJs Laurence Matte and Bruno Berdnikoff were just one of the party-til-the-wee-hours lures for the exceedingly cool crowd. All that and a record-breaking $485,000 in support of mental health, to be distributed to both the Douglas Foundation and Fondation Jeunes en Tête. We’ll say it: #Nextgentastic
