Last week, CDI’s Vivian and Kartik attended this year’s Maple Leafs Gala, A Night with Blue and White. It was an incredible evening celebrating Toronto hockey, with the roster trading their jerseys for black-tie attire to share laughs and play table games alongside alumni and fans. Bringing everyone under one roof, the night served as a powerful reminder of how deeply the Maple Leafs are woven into the fabric of this city.
While sharing the room with Leafs royalty was an absolute thrill, the ultimate highlight for our team was seeing the Real Sports Auction Marketplace in full force on the event floor. Leveraging CDi’s platform, our partners at Real Sports and the MLSE Foundation drove incredible guest engagement—with attendees placing bids on memorabilia and once-in-a-lifetime experiences, and winners walking away with their items in hand by the end of the night!
The bidding not only amplified the room’s competitive energy, but also directly fueled the MLSE Foundation’s core mission: breaking down barriers and ensuring equitable access to vital sports and youth development programs across Ontario.
