Royal LePage Shelter Foundation executive director Shanan Spencer-Brown poses with Nick Panarese of Royal LePage Real Estate Services and Royal LePage CEO Phil Soper at the Shelter Soiree – Casino Royale in Toronto.

An exciting and glamorous evening of Casino Royale themed entertainment was enjoyed by 270 guests at the Royal LePage Shelter Foundation’s annual gala in Toronto.  The event featured a powerful speech by Janice, a young woman who witnessed domestic violence in her childhood home and later found herself in an abusive relationship.

In response to hearing Janice’s story, attendees generously opened their wallets and raised $80,000 in support of the Shelter Foundation through casino-style games, silent and live auctions and a unique “Heads or Tails” game of chance.
