Durham Catholic Children's Foundation Gala

Posted On Monday February 03, 2025

Dear Durham Catholic Learning Community,

On behalf of the Durham Catholic Children’s Foundation, we are excited to share an important opportunity with you. Since the Foundation was established in 2014, we’ve been committed to helping students in need within our Durham Catholic learning community. With your support, we’ve raised over $720,000 to provide essential services and assistance to students and their families in need. Now, more than ever, as our community faces growing challenges, your continued help is needed to continue our mission.

We are thrilled to invite you to the 11th Annual Foundation Gala—an event dedicated to uplifting Durham Catholic students and their families. This year’s gala will take place on Wednesday, April 23, 2025, at Tosca Banquet Hall (800 Champlain Ave, Oshawa). It promises to be a night of celebration and meaningful connection as we celebrate our Durham Catholic Distinguished Alumni Award recipients.

Early Bird tickets are now available for a discounted price of $110. To secure your tickets, visit durhamcatholicfoundation.ca/gala. Hurry, the regular price of $130 begins on February 10, 2025!

In addition to purchasing tickets, we also offer a range of sponsorship opportunities to support the event. These include silent auction donations and various levels of sponsorship, with recognition across all event materials, media releases, social media, and our website.

We invite you to join us in making a difference in the lives of Durham Catholic students. Whether by attending the gala or becoming a sponsor, your support will have a lasting impact on the students and families who need it most. 

If you aren’t able to make the gala and would like to support the Foundation, you can do so anytime by donating online through our website. Donation receipts are provided for purchases over $25.

Thank you for your ongoing generosity and dedication to our community. We can't wait to see you all at the gala!

Yours in hope and faith,
