THE VOICE PUTS OUT THE CALL
Roots personality hosts evening to help Canadian team at world tournament
The man behind the voice of Roots is inviting friends of Roots out for a night of celebration in Toronto. Andy McCurbin, known in the Roots community as the fun, well-spoken leather specialist and the ‘Da Voice’ of Roots Radio, is hosting a fundraiser for his son Justin.
Next month, Justin will travel to South America as part of the Canadian team in an international youth soccer tournament in Brazil. The venue is Club Cruzeiro in Belo Horizonte where famous Brazilian striker Ronaldo started his career. Among the thousands of spectators will be scouts looking for new talent.
Justin, 14, is one of the youngest players on his team competing against the top squads in the world, including from Africa and Asia. It will be the second time at the tournament for Justin, currently in the Academic Program for Gifted Athletes (APGA) at Toronto’s Northview Heights Secondary School.
“Education is a very important base of any type of success and this goes hand in hand with Justin’s dream of going professional,” says Andy. “I believe that for children to achieve their goals they need the full support from not only their family but also from the community. I would like to thank everyone who has supported us from day one, especially Roots Co-Founders Michael Budman and Don Green for always helping out. Their continued support has made such a huge impact on this pursuit.”
Join Andy and Justin at the Cantine Bar & Grill on Friday, Dec. 1 for a fun evening of prizes and surprises, as they party alongside Roots DJs and Maestro Fresh Wes, who will be giving a special live performance later in the night. Latino dance teacher and performer Guillermo will also give people a “taste of Salsa” with a free dance lesson.
• Cantine Bar & Grill: 138 Avenue Rd., just south of Davenport. Doors open at 10 p.m. (If you are unable to attend but would like to show support, please e-mail Andy at: amccurbin @roots.com)
