Why We Are Fundraising (Click here to read more...)

​This year, due to restrictions caused by COVID-19, we had to make the hard decision to cancel our annual fundraising gala, our biggest fundraising event of the year (our gala raised $43,000 in 2019). Although we plan to hold our gala again when it is safe to do so, we are dedicated to fundraising in a new way that is safe, fun and innovative...because local survivors urgently need our community's support.

In the post-#MeToo era, and with the increased challenge of a global pandemic, we’ve been flooded with calls for support. The demand for our services has exploded. Five years ago, 40 survivors on our wait list was a crisis; now we have 140. It’s our new normal.

As a Sexual Assault Support Centre, we wrap survivors in community care. We walk beside them on their journey. Our support is free and doesn’t come with time limits.

For over thirty years our motto’s been “You are NOT alone.” In the post-#MeToo era, we need your help to say this with confidence to survivors.
