The Campaign to Establish the Canadian Centre for Men and Families has been a remarkable success, and has galvanized a community that cares deeply about boys, men and families. While the challenges are large, this initiative has shown people do care, and they are ready to step up to show it. The Canadian Centre for Men and Families cordially invites you to join us for a unique event to celebrate the Campaign’s closing, and to provide one last opportunity to step up, to make one final contribution – in exchange for notable good and services! – to this worthy cause.

Sunday, December 1st, 2013
2:00 pm – 4:00 pm (auction viewing begins at 1:00 pm)
The Infinity Complex Banquet Room

The auction will be hosted by Michael Takis, veteran auctioneer who recently auctioned the 4 Seasons Hotel in Yorkville and over 2000 businesses in a 33 year career. Musical entertainment provided by MEN2MANY. Light drinks and food will be available.

All proceeds support Toronto’s first “Men’s Centre.” The Campaign has reached its minimum goal of $50,000 but we’re looking to reach closer to our higher fundraising objective of $75,000 to enhance the range of services we’ll be able to provide to boys, men and families in need.
