StarBuzz Weekly, Toronto- Walter Gretzky & Johnny Bower Lended Support at Troy’s Diner, Tigers Distributed Toysand Signed Autographs at Hospital for Sick Children – Wrestling Legend Tiger Jeet Singh, his son (former WWE Superstar) Tiger nd annual “Tigerfest”, once again as part of the Milton Street Festival.
Ali Singh, and their dear friend Troy Newton, spearheaded The Tiger Jeet Singh Foundation’s efforts in raising a record setting $60,000 in food and toys as a result of Troy’s Toy Drive 2010, doubling the $30,000 raised last year.
On December 20, over 1000 supporters from across Ontario attended Troy’s Diner in Milton. Milton restaurateur Troy Newton donated all proceeds from the luncheon to the Toy Drive, as customers opened their hearts and pockets for the less fortunate over the 6 hour fundraiser. Tiger Jeet Singh and his son Tiger Ali Singh signed hundreds of autographs and offered the crowd numerous speeches of encouragement, as did hockey legends Walter Gretzky and Johnny Bower. Music was provided by numerous bands including the Salvation Army Brass Quartet and Milton Choristers, in addition to a special “Christmas Around The World” performance by recording artist Prita Chhabra and bhangra dancers from the Sonay Gabroo Punjab De (SGPD) team.
On December 21, Tiger Jeet Singh and Tiger Ali Singh also visited The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) to read and provide autographs for numerous children and parents. Accompanying the Tigers was their dear friend Troy Newton along with their respected family members.
As toys and Best Buy electronic items were distributed to the kids by Scotia Bank representatives for all the patients to use in the Hospital, Prita Chhabra sang a variety of Christmas carols for the kids. "If it was not for the Tigers, my sister/business partner Crystal and team this would not be possible," says Troy Newton. "We’re very grateful to all the sponsors, and in particular our platinum supporters in Linesteel, Scotia Bank at Thompson/Main in Milton, Royal Park Homes and Best Buy Mobile at Bramalea City Centre for their support," says Tiger Jeet Singh.
"I thank my buddy Troy for asking my father and I about one year ago to team up in
organizing the toy drive and wrestlefest events, because it gave us the opportunity to
bring people of different cultures and religions together for the greater good of
humanity and give back to noble charities,” says Tiger Ali Singh. This week, the Tigers and Troy’s Diner have also confirmed Saturday, June 4, 2011 as their 2 five hour wrestling extravaganza, free for the public, drew over 50,000 spectators and raised close to $35,000 for the Milton District Hospital Foundation this past June 2010.
