What do you get when five goofy, but seasoned, philanthropists decide they want to have a roller skating party? Well, a fundraiser raising money for food security of course. Nellie Philanthropy Foundation raised over $7,000 at Le Rinque Hockey Club in TMR recently for Chai Lifeline’s food security and meal program and Bread & Beyond.
“I’ve always wanted to have a roller skating party but recognize that food costs are just skyrocketing,” said main organizer Carrie Mazoff. “I got to have my cake and eat it too – a party and helping folks who are vulnerable.”
Added Nellie founder David Lisbona: “When there’s an opportunity to get people thinking about helping others, Nellie will step in. And who doesn’t like a party?” www.nelliefoundation.ca/donate
CRYPTO BOY: St. Laurent native and New York Times bestselling author Ian Halperin launched his latest undercover book last week in Europe called Crypto Boy. He was the keynote speaker at a conference of 10,000 people. Halperin is widely recognized as the world’s leading undercover investigative journalist, having posed as an alleged gay Scientologist, Michael Jackson’s hairdresser, the Kardashians’ sex tape peddler, a male model and many others.
In this riveting expose, Halperin unveils in astonishing detail the startling findings of his revelatory odyssey into the fascinating world of Crypto, NFTs and the Blockchain. Along the way, he unveils the workings of an industry heavily invested in maintaining an illusion that bears no semblance to reality and which can’t afford to allow the public to know how deeply corruption, greed, sex, murder and drugs are deeply ingrained in the wild world of digital currency.
A page-turning exposé — which among other things sees Halperin infiltrate this world by posing undercover as an NFT artist — spotlights the success and the heartbreaking toll crypto has on its legion of worshippers, traders and dubious characters each day.
