Masquerade for SickKids 2026: Area Realty Is Going All In!

We're doing it again. And this time, we're going all in!

Area Realty Inc. proudly presents:

MASQUERADE FOR SICKKIDS FOUNDATION
Thursday, October 29th, 2026
Revival Event Venue · 783 College St., Toronto
Doors open 5:30 PM · Costumes encouraged · Kids welcome

This Halloween, we're trading trick-or-treating for something a little more meaningful. Join us for a masquerade ball featuring live entertainment, a curated raffle with incredible donated prizes, food, drinks, and the kind of warm community spirit that turns a night out into a memory.

Our goal this year: $50,000.

Every dollar raised goes directly to SickKids Foundation's unrestricted fund - where it can do the most good, whether that's funding groundbreaking research, urgent patient care, or support for families who need it most. This cause is personal to us. It always has been.

Admission is free for adults who donate $150 or more, and free for each child with extra $25 donation. Can't make it in person? You can still be part of it. Every donation, no matter the size, helps.

Stay tuned! Entertainment, special guests, and prize announcements are coming soon. Follow along and share this page with someone who cares.

With gratitude,
Alessandro Bertucci and the Area Realty Team

Halfway There: Over $5,000 Raised for SickKids Thanks to Our Community

Saturday 22nd Nov

As a Toronto-based real estate brokerage deeply embedded in our community, Area Realty Inc. is overjoyed to share that alongside our extended network of family, friends, and generous partners, we have surpassed $5,000 raised for SickKids. That’s the halfway mark to our $10,000 goal!!!

Frankly, expectations have been exceeded, but we can’t pretend we're shocked. When people come together around a cause as vital as SickKids, the momentum is inevitable. What we’re seeing here is the result of countless acts of generosity and a shared belief in better days for children and their families facing extraordinary challenges. Every dollar, every conversation, every message of encouragement is building something far greater than we ever could on our own.


And while it takes a village, some villagers go above and beyond. A massive thank you to the following donors:


Linda Gardner, whose single $1,000 gift lit up our tracker like the star on top of the holiday tree!

The Mortgage Agency, Sabrina Carpino, and an Anonymous friend ($500)

California Sandwiches ($400)

Rocco and Dominico Pietropalo ($300)

Enzo Bertucci and Domenic Barbieri ($250)

Michael Francella, Chris Kiroff, and an Anonymous friend ($200)

The $100 donors brought the spirit by the handful: Sharon O’Dowd, Xhulio Vasiu, Christopher De Giorgio and Elisa Ferrante, Simona Messina, Claudia Fernando, Samantha Vite.


To the many who have pitched in at every level (from a ten-spot to a king’s ransom), we want you to know: 

Your gift doesn’t go into just any fund. It goes toward pioneering research that unlocks new treatments and cures, innovative patient care that improves and saves the lives of children every day, and extensive family support programs that ensure no one faces illness alone. Your gift is extending hope and healing well beyond the hospital walls.


If you haven’t had a chance to join this surge of generosity, don’t worry, there’s still time. With your help, we can sprint through the second half and reach our $10,000 goal together. Every new name on the donor list is a reminder that this community—your community—is determined to ensure the best care and the brightest possible future for every child who needs it most. Can you hear our collective heart beating too??


Thank you again for your incredible support, and here’s to a holiday season full of hope, warmth, and meaningful impact.


See you at $10,000.
