Does it get any better than that?!

Actually, it does! Another former youth in care will be joining us as our musical guest during the reception AND there are incredible prizes to be won this year!

Families come in all shapes and sizes — and every one of them matters.
Many children and youth in child welfare are cared for by kin: grandparents, aunts, uncles, godparents, or close family friends who step up when they’re needed most.

Your generosity through the Holiday Gift Program makes sure every family feels seen, supported, and valued — no matter what family looks like for them.

Help bring joy and comfort to over 1,000 children, youth, and caregivers across diverse holidays and celebrations year-round.💙
Donate today: https://cafott.ca/events-holiday-gift-program/
