An Evening to Celebrate
On October 24, 2025, over 400 guests came together at the Windsor Arms Hotel for a night dedicated to supporting the CAMH Foundation. The annual gala was a celebration of community, generosity, and shared purpose, raising a incredible $125,000 to fund life-saving programs, helping build a future where no one is left behind.
Fun & Engaging Experiences
The night kicked off with smooth saxophone melodies and lively beats from our DJ, setting the tone for a memorable evening. Guests mingled over hors d’oeuvres and gelato from Lulu’s Gelato while enjoying drinks from the hosted bar and our champagne wall, capturing memories along the way at the Polar Ice Photography photo booth.
The evening was packed with experiences for everyone. Guests were amazed by a close-up magician, got creative with AJ, our live character artist, and crafted keepsakes at the DIY Keychain Bar. Sports fans cheered on the Toronto Blue Jays during Game One of the World Series, and many took a quiet moment to write letters to CAMH patients through the Gifts of Light program. Guests could also shop Check on the Homies apparel, with proceeds supporting CAMH, or test their skills in the playful interactive game—a clever twist on the classic Operation board game.

Take Home Treasures
The silent auction was a highlight, with exclusive items ranging from event tickets and fashion rentals to dining experiences, wellness products, and keepsakes. Thanks to generous bidding, the auction raised over $9,500, adding to the total impact of the evening.
Guests also received thoughtfully curated gift bags filled, each unique and valued at over $100, brimming with indulgent surprises. From luxurious eyeshadow and soothing masks to artisanal coffee and body treats, each bag offered small moments of joy and everyday indulgence. Our generously donated gift bag items served as a lasting reminder of a night full of community, fun, and purpose.
