My Story…
Hey friends! As you know, I love to run and have been doing a bit of it for the last little while! I believe it’s one of the most democratic sports out there and has a knack for bringing people together. And for the very first time, I am running to support Toronto’s queer community.
With the rollback of corporate DEI support and retrenchment of queer and trans rights, this Pride feels very different. Running this race is my act of resistance against those who want to deny our community the right to exist as we are. And it’s also my act of resilience: celebrating all the incredible ways we experience love and joy through our queerness. This run is a reminder that Pride has been and always will be about queer and trans liberation.
Sign up and let’s run together or if your heart and wallet have the capacity, will you chip in and join me as a supporter?
Thank you for your support!
Always in solidarity,
Andrew
Description
Hi friends!
I’m participating in the pride & remembrance run!
Support and sponsorships for the 2SLGBTQ+ community and events are taking a hit from increasing anti-2SLGBTQ+ sentiment. The pride & remembrance run is dedicated to lifting up and raising funds for important 2SLGBTQ+ programs in the GTA.
You can help me support them as I raise funds this year for 4 incredible non-profit organizations that are doing amazing work in the 2SLGBTQ+ community. The beneficiaries for this year’s run are: Sherbourne Health Centre, Sunshine Centres for Seniors, the Women's College Hospital Foundation, and the Pride and Remembrance Foundation.
You can find out more about these incredible organizations here.
It’s fast and easy to donate, and tax receipts will be issued for every donation over $20. Every donation matters, as we try to reach our goal of raising $325,000 this year! The projects and initiatives that these organizations are developing will make a difference to so many members of the 2SLGBTQ+ community, and I would be so grateful for your donation.
Thanks again for your support and remember your why!
