Official Press Release:

RICH KIDD HOSTING HEART AND STROKE BENEFIT AT TOTA LOUNGE ON OCTOBER 29, 2009

On Thursday, October 29th 2009, nationally recognized producer Rich Kidd will be hosting a benefit for the Heart and Stroke Foundation. Considering that the hip-hop community is highest at risk for heart disease – yet the least aware of the statistics – event organizer Tara Muldoon will be launching a series of events through 2009/2010 to draw attention to the preventable disease. Along side host Rich Kidd, DJ Jug E will be playing hip-hop favourites all night long.

Rich Kidd is currently sitting number one on Flow 93.5 for his production on the K-OS, Saukrates and Nelly Furtado single “I Wish I Knew Natalie Portman” and had produced for artists such as Drake and Busta Rhymes. He is known for his charismatic hosting abilities and is proud to be involved with a great cause.

The theme of the night is the “Red Drink” which is a vodka cranberry mix, and all proceeds go directly to the Heart and Stroke Foundation.

Statistics to ponder:
*There are an estimated 70,000 heart attacks each year in Canada. That’s one heart attack every 7 minutes.
*Over 17,000 Canadians die each year as the result of a heart attack. Most of these deaths occur out of hospital.
