Our annual fundraiser returns for its 9th year – with a new name and theme.
Join us at PROMise Party on November 12th from 7-10 PM at CSI Spadina (192 Spadina Ave) in Toronto.
Access was prom-ised by 2025 – We’re still working (and dancing) to help make it happen.
20 years ago, Ontario made a promise: that by January 1, 2025, our province would be fully accessible. That promise, written into the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA), was a landmark commitment to removing barriers. But now, the graduation date has passed, and the province has fallen short.
PROMise Party is the theme of this year’s fundraiser: a radically joyful, inclusive reimagining of a classic rite of passage. It is also our response to a broken commitment. A community-powered night that says: “We will not wait quietly for inclusion. We will celebrate. We will gather. And we will help create the barrier-free Ontario that we were promised.”
This prom-inspired party with purpose is your chance to dance, connect, and celebrate – all while raising funds to help StopGap continue our important awareness-raising work.
Tickets are now on sale! Early bird and accessible pricing options are available for a limited time – act fast to save your spot at a discounted rate.
Every ticket level gives you full access to the evening, including:

If you’re not able to attend, you can still fuel the impact of PROMise Party with a tax-deductible donation. Every gift helps us build ramps, spark conversations, and push for greater accessibility.
Thanks so much for your ongoing support of our work. We can’t wait to dance with you in November!
With gratitude,
The StopGap team
