PROMise Party is back – and tickets are officially on sale!
This year marks the 10th anniversary of StopGap Foundation’s signature fundraising event, and we’re celebrating by going Beyond the Ramp.
Since 2011, StopGap’s colourful ramps have provided immediate access while sparking conversations about the barriers that still exist in our communities. But we’ve always known that the ramp is only part of the story. Real accessibility means looking beyond temporary solutions and creating communities where inclusion is built in from the start.
That’s what the PROMise Party is all about. The promise of an accessible Ontario by 2025 wasn’t kept, but our promise continues. Our promise is to keep removing barriers until access is a given.
Together, we’ll celebrate how far we’ve come, honour those leading the way, and build momentum for the work still ahead.
Join us on November 4th from 7-10 PM at CSI Spadina (192 Spadina Ave in Toronto)!
This will be a spirit-filled night to dance, connect, and celebrate – all while raising funds to help StopGap continue our important awareness-raising work.
Early bird pricing is available for a limited time – act fast to save your spot at a discounted rate!
