Are you coming to A Gutsy Affair?
This is going to be my 2nd year attending "A Gutsy Affair" event in Toronto this Thursday. A Gutsy Affair is an event in support of Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of Canada. I found out about this event via Twitter last year and the organizers have reached out to me to help spread the word in hopes of bringing more awareness and also an understanding of this disease. Last year I was surprised to see how many Twitter friends are affected by Crohn's disease. This year again I would like to bring awareness and help people understand it a little bit more. I would like you tweet me at @clickflickca and tell me something you know about Crohn's Disease. Add #AgutsyAffair to the tweet and you will be eligible to win a pair of tickets to the event. It should be a great evening of dancing, silent auction, swag bags and tons of prizes including various trips around the world. To purchase tickets AGUTSYAFFAIR $50 in advance and $60 at the door. I will select a random winner tomorrow afternoon. So tell me some facts or anything you know about Crohn's Disease and add #AGutsyAffair to the tweet. Good Luck!

Doritos Jacked Chips. Bigger, Thicker and Bolder.

Last week Doritos launched a campaign for a new JACKED flavour. This new chip is said to be bigger, thicker and bolder. Now I have not tried this chip yet because it is only available in limited quantities and being released randomly. You can however have a chance to win some great prizes from Doritos by checking their Facebook page JACKED Earn Compassion points to win. Details are on the site.
For a limited time if you try the various games on their website and gain enough points you would be eligible for clues and unlock to win prize packs and a MINI Cooper Countryman car. Yes, Doritos is giving away a car!

Are you coming to DefineTO ?

What is DefineTO? I'm going to give you my own definition and define it for you. I maybe correct or totally off. I think with DefineTO it's a group of like-minded peeps through social media who take the initiative to make a difference through their social channels. This year the benefiting organization is the Remix Project. For more details of the Remix Project
I've been to this event in previous years and have always enjoyed the events. It has been an opportunity for me to really meet new friends that I actually socialize with via social channels. It's great to put a face to the person behind the avatars. It makes the event better knowing that money raised goes to a good cause too. On that note, I know the organizers have many cool things planned for that evening this coming Thursday. Numerous sponsors and surprises are planned for the evening so it looks to be a great evening of fun!
You can purchase tickets here
On that note, I'll be giving away a pair of tickets for the event courtesy of the organizers. I encourage you to come out and have fun! Details of this event and the organizers can be found on this link DefineTO.
To win a pair of tickets tweet this:
" @clickflickca I want to have fun and help support @TheRemixProject #DefineTO "
Winner will be chosen on Wednesday evening. Good luck and hope to see you all this Thursday!

Give yourself a break! Have a Kit Kat.

Do you ever feel stressed? Do you wish for more time in the day? Do ever feel that you are rushing to complete a task but always worry if it's been completed or done properly? These are questions I'm sure we've all experienced in our own lives in different ways. Did you know Tuesday morning is the most stressful day of the week? Usually when you go into work on Monday you organize everything for the remainder of the week. Tuesday is the 1st day you actually get anything accomplished in most cases.
This month of April is National Stress Awareness Month. I want to "Thank" Nestle Kit Kat for noticing that I need to take a break. I have a busy schedule juggling work, life, friends and family. Kit Kat has provided me with a Kit full of items to help me relax and take it easy. The Kit has chocolates, tea, fragrance oil, writing pad, stress ball and much more. This post is more about awareness to just take it easy! Sit back and enjoy the finer or simpler things in life. Sometimes we get so worked up to get things done that we never actually enjoyed the experience itself.
On a side note, Kit Kat is offering Canadians a chance to win one of 3 BIG BREAK prizes of $100,000 until July 31, 2012. They are also giving $1,000 weekly. How do you get a chance to win? Buy the specially marked packages of Kit Kat and enter the PIN code. This could be the best break you get, right? We all deserve a break! If you won, where or what would you do? Would you travel? Here are the top 5 spots according to Kit Kat. I've only been to one on the image. If you do win, please take me with you. :-)

For more info check out KitKat or on Facebook

Win a tour of the Rogers Centre. Home of the Toronto Blue Jays

I attended a Toronto Maple Leafs game yesterday and noticed that during a blowout game that Toronto fans began to chant "Let's GO Blue Jays!" in unison. This post is not about loyalty to either team but more about the hunger that Toronto wants to see something positive happen with our professional sports teams. I think Toronto is due for some excitement that other cities around the world will envy us. We've got a multicultural city, restaurants and exciting attractions so we should deserve it. Heck, we've been living in a cold slumber of a winter. Torontonians just want to get out and enjoy and celebrate something in my opinion. The Home Opener of the Toronto Blue Jays is more than the 1st game of the season in baseball. It's usually a party of over 40,000 fans but more like an energy release for Torontonians. It's a symbolic game that summer and warm weather is coming or finally here. In that respect since the game will be held at the Rogers Centre in less than 2 weeks I thought I'd giveaway a pair of passes to the Rogers Centre to get you excited about the season to come. It's not Home Opener tickets but at least it's something. Most Toronto folks don't enjoy their own attractions in the city. I encourage you to step out of your routine and do something in Toronto. You'll be surprised at the things you can learn and experience. On that note, send me a tweet if you want to win a pair of passes for the "Rogers Centre Tour". I'll pick a winner on Monday April 2, 2012.
For more info on tours, check here: Rogers Centre Tours
TWEET: " @clickflickca I want a tour of the Rogers Centre in Toronto #ILoveToronto "
Good luck and go out and enjoy Toronto!

Global TV premiere of Touch.

The folks at Global TV are introducing the new show "Touch" starring canadian actor Keifer Sutherland. The show premieres on Thursday March 22nd at 9pm ET. Kiefer's character is to make a difference in people's lives because of a text message he receives on a lost cell phone and his relationship with his son who seems to be psychic or of a higher being. I watched the trailer and it's intriguing. What if coincidence was a calculation?
In conjunction with the tv show premiere a cross promotion has occurred that promotes social good. Global has given me a phone to post a pic of something that has touched my life (big or small) For me it's food lately. I enjoy food because it's the most social thing to do. It touches upon all the human senses such as taste, touch and smell. Now the cool part about this promotion is that for every photo uploaded to Globaltv.com from the phone 10 cents will be donated to The Children's Wish Foundation. The images can be viewed on the site. If you don't have the phone you can still participate by emailing a photo to touch@globaltv.com or texting to 101010 with your image.

Are you sharing too much?
Would you give your credit card information in an email or social media channels? Are you sharing too much? It's a question you need to answer. We all seem to be online sharing so much personal info via various social media networks that we really need to step back and evaluate for our own safety. We share details of where we eat, where we shop and in some cases check into our home locations online. This month is Visa Fraud Prevention Month. Sharing the Infographic will help Canadians understand the risk and how vulnerable we can be to fraud. The following represents the key findings from a survey with a focus on young Canadians.
Here are some Key survey findings:
More than half (56%) of Canadians say that identity theft is the type of fraud that concerns them the most.
Young adults aged 18-30 are the most likely to have loaned their debit or credit card and to have revealed their PIN to another person in the last 12 months, where as older Canadians are the most likely to have sent their personal credit card information via email.

I hope you can find the info from VISA helpful and take proper procedures to maintain your safety from having fraud happen to you. For more info visit Visa Security
