April 27, 2007 - Celebrating The Women In Our Lives ...
Event Photos

The Assaulted Women's Helpline hosted our fourth annual "Celebrate the Women in Your Life" fundraising dinner and silent auction on April 27th, 2007 at the Four Seasons Hotel. New friends and old enjoyed dinner, a huge silent auction, chair massages from Massage Time in our Pampering Zone, a gift bag of surprises and prizes galore. The highlight of the evening was a stunning performance from songstress Amanda Martinez as well as a colourful performance by the Folklorcio Filipino dance company.

Together we celebrated the courage of the more than 49,000 women that call the crisis line annually. We also celebrated the many important women in our lives: mothers, daughters, sisters, partners, friends, coworkers . and ourselves. Ticket and auction proceeds went to support the work done by the Assaulted Women's Helpline and OAITH.

Thanks to our guests, sponsors, donors and amazing team of volunteers, our event exceeded all expectations, raising 44% more than 2006!

"Celebrate the Women in Your Life" was generously sponsored by our friends at Bell, Royal Le Page Shelter Foundation, Jordan Engineering, Ivanhoe Cambridge, Brookfield Properties, Cadillac Fairview and 680News. We thank these organizations for their support and public demonstration of their commitment to raise funds and awareness to end violence against women.

Thank you to our Sponsors!

                                         

                                 

The other media supporters, silent auction, door prize raffle and gifts were equally important contributions to our event. They were made possible by the support and generosity of many in-kind donors that we would like to recognize and thank, including:

Our dedicated team of volunteers are already working hard to plan our fifth annual event for April 18th next year. We look forward to seeing you there!
