The evening raised $250,000 highlighted by a transformative $100,000 gift from Tire World Inc. As a cornerstone supporter of the event, Tire World Inc.’s generosity set the tone for the evening and inspired others to give. Thanks to all supporters and sponsors including:

This gala was a spectacular and heartfelt gathering aimed at raising funds for a 12-bed hospice residence. The new facility will be located on 1.7 acres at the intersection of Countryside Drive and Bramalea Road, thanks to a transformative donation of land from the City of Brampton valued at over $4 million.
