“TANNER” for Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy

Disney On Ice presents DisneyPixar’s Toy Story 3 is bringing the smash-hit box-office sensation, Toy Story 3, and memorable moments from Toy Story and Toy Story 2 to the ice in this sensational live production coming to Toronto over March Break! This brand-new ice spectacular comes to Rogers Centre March 15-20/11 for 9 performances. The performance includes Buzz Lightyear, Woody, Jessie and the Toy Story gang, along with new faces Barbie, Ken, and Lots-o’-Huggin’ Bear.

Inspired by the crusade of Mom Blogger Catherine Connors, who may be best known for her tutu-flanked attire, to garner awareness of and research funding for Duchenne muscular dystrophy, (Tutus for Tanner) Disney On Ice is donating $2 from every Rogers Centre ticket sold to Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy when the code “TANNER” is used to purchase tickets.

Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy is a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the treatment, quality of life, and long-term outlook for all individuals affected by Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Duchenne is one of nine types of mucular dystrophy, caused by a genetic disorder. It affects approximately one in every 3,500 male births, and there is no cure.

Fans can support the cause simply by entering or mentioning the code “TANNER” when making their ticket purchase to any of the nine Disney On Ice performances at Rogers Centre. Tanner is the name of Connors’ nephew, who is afflicated with the disease.



Tickets for Disney On Ice presents Disney Pixar’s Toy Story 3 are available at www.ticketmaster.ca, Ticketmaster retail outlets, Rogers Centre Box Office, or by calling 1-855-985-5000.
