My Story…
Hi Family & Friends!
I remember my first Pride in Vancouver and being completely washed over with a sense of belonging and community; finally feeling like I was surrounded by the support, energy and love that I had been searching for since I was a little kiddo.
"The flower that blooms in adversity is the most rare and beautiful of all."
I'm excited to be running the Pride & Remembrance 5K Run again this year in Toronto! Every dollar we raise goes straight to these incredible 2026 beneficiary organizations:
✨ The 519
✨ Canvas Programs
✨ Casey House
✨ The Pride and Remembrance Foundation
Thank you, in advance, for your generosity of kindness and support!
"Your rainbow will come smiling through."
🌈 Happy Pride! 🌈
Description
The pride & remembrance run is dedicated to lifting up and raising funds for important 2SLGBTQ+ programs in the GTA.
These 4 incredible non-profit organizations are doing amazing work in the 2SLGBTQ+ community. The beneficiaries for this year’s run are: the 519, Casey House, Canvas Programs, 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 $350,000 this year! The projects and initiatives that these organizations are developing will make a difference to so many members of the 2SLGBTQ+ community, and the community would be so grateful for your donation.
Thanks again for your support and run it forward!
