THANK YOU
for an evening of celebration, inspiration and hope:
2024 YWCA Toronto Women of Distinction Awards Gala

Nearly 600 guests joined us on Thursday, May 23, 2024 at the Liberty Grand to honour the work of our remarkable Women of Distinction. The 43rd YWCA Toronto Women of Distinction Awards Gala raised over $500,000 to help transform the lives of women, girls and gender diverse people in Toronto.

Thank you to our sponsors, donors, table and ticket purchasers, silent auction and raffle donors and volunteers for your generosity.

None of YWCA Toronto’s life-saving work is possible without kind people like you. When you help women and girls flee violence, secure housing, find jobs, promote health and well being, enhance skills and build towards better futures, you help create a stronger community for all of us.
