Video and Photos from our Launch Party and Fundraiser

To celebrate the launch of its web site, non-profit incorporation and expanded reach across North America (and beyond!), The S.W.A.P. Team invited its closest 150 friends and supporters to an elegant soirée held in a 2700 sq. ft. private penthouse loft in Old Montreal.

Here’s what you missed on June 23 … video and photos by Conception Levy.

Robert de la Gauthier set the mood with an electic mix of electronic grooves:

Thanks to our gracious host Michael Banks and to our fab crew of volunteers for helping us throw a successful launch party! We raised $1200 to cover the costs of producing clothing swaps this fall!
