Pay It Backwards Day!
So it looks like we’ll all be donning our rubber boots and rain coats tomorrow for Pay It Backwards Day, which will make breaking a world record even more fun!
Starting at noon tomorrow, hundreds of Do Gooders will gather at the Second Cup (Queen & John, Toronto) to buy each other coffee, tea, and other delicious drinks while enjoying some fantastic street-side entertainment, in support of Sick Kids Hospital.
How does it work? It’s simple! Here’s a Step by Step Guide to Pay It Backwards Day (#pibTO):
Step One: Show up at Queen and John at 1pm (sharp).
Step Two: Register and get your PIB Bib (hehe) with your Do Gooder number.
Step Three: Proceed to the Pay It Backward line and enjoy:
- Music from Flow 93.5 live on location
- Basketball & Soccer freestyle tricks from Canada’s professional basketball trickster, Q-Mack and the Canadian Freestyle Soccer team
Step Four: Mix and mingle with some Pay It Backward celebrities:
- Michael Landsberg, the host of TSN’s Off The Record
- Erica Ehm one of Canada’s most recognized television personalities & host of the Yummy Mummy Club.
Step Five: Tell the person in front of you what you’ll be having - they’ll buy you your drink when they get to the counter!
Step Six: Ask the person behind you what they’re having - buy them their drink when you get to the counter!
Step Seven: Celebrate! You’ve just helped to break a world record - and the best part is 100% OF THE PROCEEDS WILL GO TO SICK KIDS HOSPITAL!!!!
Step Eight: Take some pictures, enjoy your drink, and give Darius Bashar (@dariusbashar) and the rest of the #pibTO team a hug of appreciation!
If that wasn’t enough of a reason to attend, the 100th, 200th, 300th, and 400th people in line will receive a $50 iTunes gift card! Just stand in line in the right spot.
I hope to see everyone there, supporting Sick Kids and participating in a historic act of kindness. You can RSVP on Facebook here!

OMG #PIBTO!!! You rock for the iTunes gift cards Tiffany
This is a fantastically helpful post, Tiff! I now know what to expect so I can just enjoy myself at the event.
You’ve even slipped in a wardrobe tip!
Speaking of coffee and good things that come from it. On Earth Day, bring your reusable (probably will have to be S-bucks) traveller mug and get a free fill of Pike Place.
