20th Anniversary Gala Celebration |
|
We would like to thank all those who joined Black CAP for our 20th Anniversary Celebration on November 26th. This event was the culmination of 20 years of working to care for and support Toronto's Black, African and Caribbean communities.
The event was a great success and we were joined by 175 friends and family of the organization. We would like to offer our special thanks to the Ontario Minister of Health Promotion Margarett Best, the Honourable George Smitherman, Camille Orridge and other special guests who spoke about the importance of Black CAP over the last 20 years. We would also like to thank the generous sponsors of this event: TD Bank Financial Group, ViiV Healthcare in partnership with Shire, AMOI Magazine (www.amoimag.com), Mpenzi: Black Women's International Film and Video Festival (www.mpenzi.ca) and the artists who donated items for our silent auction. The event was both a celebration and a fundraiser and we are very happy to announce that we met our goal of $20,000 for our emergency financial assistance program which supports our clients who are facing economic hardship. Thanks to all those who gave and we look forward to working with you in the future. |
