Intimate Gathering, Large Impact: How Our Live Auction Raised $6,000 for Mental Health



Our recent Live Corporate Auction with Collabera, held on Wednesday, October 30th at Toast on Bloor, was nothing short of electric. A huge thank you to everyone who played a part—whether you were contributing, bidding, or simply cheering everyone on. Together, we raised an incredible $6,000 for the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) Foundation!


The Spark Behind the Silence

When we set out to organize our live corporate auction, we knew we wanted to do more than just raise funds—we wanted to make an impact alongside corporate partners. Mental health is something that touches us all, and we believe it’s time to make a difference together.


We approached Collabera because of their passion for uniting clients, partners, and communities to create real change aligned perfectly with our mission. By partnering with Collabera, we tapped into a network of people who truly understand the power of collective action—and who share our vision of making a difference.


This event wasn’t just about raising money—it was about fueling research, enhancing care, and breaking down the stigma surrounding mental health. Every dollar raised supports CAMH’s vital work in advancing mental health care and research across Canada, and every person in that room played a role in making that happen.


Community Contributions to Auction

We’re so grateful for the generosity of our event partners and donors who helped make this night unforgettable. Every contribution was more than just something to bid on—it was a powerful gesture of support. You all made the difference!


A Collective Effort with Collabera

The excitement of the auction alone raised $3,000—a fantastic showing of generosity from everyone involved. But Collabera didn’t stop there. In the true spirit of giving back, they matched that donation, bringing the total raised to an amazing $6,000! This incredible contribution will go directly toward supporting CAMH’s mission to advance mental health research and care programs, including addiction treatment, recovery, and destigmatizing mental health issues. Together, we’ve amplified our impact in ways that will truly make a difference.


A huge shout-out to Collabera for sponsoring this incredible event and to Toast on Bloor for hosting us in their stunning venue, complete with delicious bites throughout the evening. Your generosity was key to making this all possible, and we couldn’t have done it without you!


Behind-the-Scenes Heroes

None of this would have been possible without the hard work of our behind-the-scenes heroes. From volunteers to organizers, everyone pitched in to make the night run smoothly. Special thanks to CAMH Engage members Val Kugathasan, who partnered with Collabera to bring the event to life, and Eric Muellejans, whose organizational skills were the backbone of the evening. In just three short weeks, they pulled this all together and absolutely crushed it as auctioneers during the live event!


How You Can Stay Involved

While the event may be over, the work to support CAMH’s mission is ongoing. You can still get involved by donating directly to the CAMH Foundation, attending future events, or keeping the conversation about mental health going in your community. Together, we can continue to make lasting change.


Thank you for being a part of something truly meaningful. Your involvement proves that sometimes the quietest efforts can create the loudest impact!
