Bloomex Sponsors the National Art Centre’s Up Close and Unplugged with Ed Robertson
Ottawa, Canada, November 09, 2018 --(PR.com)-- Bloomex is proud to once again be the Floral Provider for the National Arts Centre (NAC) for the 2018-2019 season. Each year, the NAC hosts an exclusive joint fundraiser with the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation, titled Up Close and Unplugged. This year’s event features singer Ed Robertson, of The Barenaked Ladies. As flower sponsor, Bloomex will be providing all florals for the fundraiser on November 8, 2018. The provision will include dinner centrepieces and small arrangements for the high-top cruiser tables.
This year, the event will have a "pinball" theme featuring bright, electrifying colours to represent the iconic pinball machine, Robertson’s favourite arcade game. Bloomex will provide all the flowers in bold primary colours for the cocktail reception and the dinner which will be presented in one of the NAC's premier entertaining spaces. Following dinner, guests will enjoy an intimate concert by icons of the Canadian music scene. Past performers included Jim Cuddy, Alan Doyle and Colin James. Funds go to help support the fight against cancer in Ottawa and surrounding areas and to support programming at the National Arts Centre.
“We’re honoured to be the Floral Sponsor for Up Close and Unplugged again this year, as well as Floral Provider to the CEO office of the NAC Foundation for another season,” says Sue McDonald, Director of PR and Corporate Sponsorship at Bloomex Canada. “This event supports two wonderful causes and the theme is so fun- very Ed Robertson!”
“We are delighted to have Bloomex Canada return as the floral sponsor for Up Close and Unplugged,” says Event Co-Chair Peter Charbonneau. “Thanks to their ongoing support, we are able to ensure that the most funds possible will be donated back to these two great organizations: The National Arts Centre Foundation and the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation.”

About Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation
The Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation is dedicated to helping families who are facing cancer and increasing cancer survivorship in Eastern Ontario. They support cancer care and research to prevent, detect, diagnose and cure cancer. Every year there are 7,500 more people in our community who will be told "You have cancer." When that happens, lives are turned upside down. The Cancer Foundation is always there to ensure local cancer patients and their families have the best possible quality of life and best chance of survival. This happens through helping families with guidance and disease management called Cancer Coaching; providing better treatments locally through innovative clinical trials; and, funding local breakthrough research to bring us one step closer to finding a cure here in Ottawa.
