Third party fundraising: first in our community's hearts!

27 April 2018 - by YMCA of Greater Toronto
Every year community members including local businesses, groups and individuals come together to host fundraisers with the goal of supporting priority programs that we provide here at the YMCA.

For staff and residents at Radio City Condominium in the heart of the Church and Wellesley Village,  fundraising annually for an important YMCA program is a great way to make a lasting difference and support their community.
Each June, as Pride celebrates diversity and inclusion, Radio City staff and residents come together to raise funds for our charity of choice: YMCA Sprott House, which provides much-needed support, resources and shelter for LGBTQ2S+ youth. We host a Pride Social for neighbours and residents in our outdoor courtyard, and we donate the proceeds [to YMCA Sprott House].

YMCA Sprott House is a home for LGBTQ2S+ youth who have experienced homelessness, where 25 participants live together in a caring and fully supported community for up to one year. Thanks to donors like Radio City, LGBTQ2S+ young adults have the space to transition to a healthy adulthood with the support of trained staff and the community.
Supporting Sprott House means we are making a tangible difference in the LGBTQ2S+ community — one with which we strongly identify.  We want LGBTQ2S+ youth in Toronto to know there’s a place they can go when they have nowhere else to turn.

Become a part of our Community Crew by hosting your own fundraiser in support of Sprott House or other priority programs.
