Taking time out of her busy schedule, Canadian chanteuse Nelly Furtado performs at Gilda Club Greater Toronto’s sixth annual fundraiser It’s Always Something on Monday.

For the first time ever, the cancer charity event raised $500 000.

Gilda’s Club was founded in honour of comedian Gilda Radner. The Second City and Saturday Night Live star died of ovarian cancer in 1989. The first clubhouse opened in New York City in 1995, and the Toronto club opened its red door in 2001, in the old Second City firehouse on Lombard Street.

Other feature performers last night included Anne Murray, Eric McCormack, Great Big Sea and host, Russell Peters.
