Every year Power Unit Youth Organization selects a beneficiary from the local community and donates part-proceeds from our event to them. In 2011 we partnered with Sleeping Children Around The World, an organization dedicated to providing bedkits to kids in some of the poorest areas of the world.
With the $10,000 that Night It Up! raised for Sleeping Children Around The World, 285 bedkits were provided for children in Bangladesh so they could have a great night’s rest.
A big thank you to all 100,000+ people that attended last year. Continue supporting Night It Up! in 2012 and the worthy causes we’ll be helping out.

Having NIU withdrawal symptoms? Weather getting too cold? Let’s have one last blast at our Summer’s Not Over! Music Jam! With an array of talented singer/songwriters and bands, we promise an evening of great drinks and live music. Hosted by the comical duo: Asiansploitation’s Franco Nguyen and PUYO’s Rock Diva Christy Luo. Held at Queen’s Head Pub (2555 Victoria Park Avenue, Unit 1) on August 28th, 5pm –8pm.
Show features:
Maybe Refuge – a big believer in original lyrics and knock-out beats, this Toronto based alternative rock band is no amateur in the music scene. They will be playing a few tunes from their highly anticipated EP. Be prepared to be wowed! (Visit www.facebook.com/mayberefuge for their music samples.)
Kenneth Yeung – a local singer/song writer with a unique talent of creating live acapella arrangements; using just his voice, a microphone and a loop machine.
PUYO Rock Band – a group of whimsical and loving PUYOers. Led by Christy Luo (former PUYO President), joined by the talents of Kester Ng, Cherry Cheng and Michael Ha, the group performs for the duo-purpose of providing entertainment and raising the spirits of fellow PUers. Look out for their single on iTunes in late-August, 2011. All proceeds from iTunes sales will go towards the PUYO FUNraising initiative.
Special guest performance by Stephen the Magician.
Tickets will be sold at the door for $15 each. Each ticket comes with free (alcoholic/non-alcoholic) drink and light refreshments. See you there!
