The Rally for Kids with Cancer Scavenger Cup kicks off with "The Qualifiers" Celebrity Draft Party on September 18 at Muzik, located at 15 Saskatchewan Rd, Toronto, ON, in Toronto. This cocktail reception provides Rally Drivers with the opportunity to meet and recruit their desired Celebrity Navigator, along with scrumptious food provided by local area restaurants. The premium drafting positions will be determined based on the amount of dollars fundraised.

On September 19, the “Start Your Engines” Brunch takes place at the Ritz-Carlton, located at 181 Wellington Street West in Toronto.

Fuelled by an extraordinary schedule of Pit Stops at some of the most renowned establishments and venues in the city, Car Rally Drivers and Celebrity Navigators will embark on a journey led from one clue to the next. Along the way, participants will interact with some of the most unique and inspiring children.

The final destination of the Rally is “The Winner’s Circle” a star-studded gala dinner at the Ritz-Carlton - 181 Wellington Street West. Rally drivers, celebrities, sponsors and invited guests will revel in their memories from the past two days while enjoying an incredible dinner and award-winning entertainment, with live auction prizes and the Scavenger Cup awards ceremony.
