AIDS Committee of Toronto (ACT)
The AIDS Committee of Toronto (ACT) develops and delivers innovative programs and services that promote the dignity, health and well-being of individuals and communities living with, affected by and at risk for HIV/AIDS.
Proceeds from the 2011 Run will support the development of a multifaceted HIV education campaign for young gay/bi/queer male youth that aims to increase awareness and improve skills to protect themselves and others from HIV transmission.
Triangle Program
Triangle Program is Canada’s only high school program for LGBTQ youth. The Triangle Program is committed to providing a classroom where LGBTQ youth can learn and earn credits in a safe, harassment-free, equality-based environment, and developing and teaching curriculum which includes and celebrates LGBT literature, history, persons and issues.
Proceeds from the 2011 Run will support the expansion and diversification of their library and speaker series as well as the development of print resources aimed at a youth audience.
The Pride and Remembrance Foundation
After 15 successful years of running, walking, fundraising, and most importantly, supporting charities in the LGBT community, the Pride and Remembrance Run is evolving. We have reached a point where we are raising enough money to expand our support to more then just two charities a year. To do this, we have established the Pride and Remembrance Foundation.
The Pride and Remembrance Foundation is a charitable foundation that is operated by a voluntary board. It is responsible for overseeing the receipting and distribution of the charitable funds raised by the annual Pride and Remembrance Run. The Foundation's mandate mirrors that of the existing Association, which is to provide financial support to registered charities that benefit the LGBT community.
The mission of the Pride and Remembrance Run and the Association do not in any way change with the launch of the Foundation. On an annual basis, the Foundation will accept applications for financial assistance from registered charities within the LGBT community. As a new organization, we’ll be seeking input from LGBT community members to ensure The Pride and Remembrance Foundation makes a significant and sustainable long-term social impact.
