About
Join us on Saturday, February 8, 2025, at St. Paul’s Bloor Street, 227 Bloor St. E., in midtown Toronto for a fun, family-friendly 2 or 5 km fundraising winter walk. To learn more about the walk, watch our video!
By participating, you’ll generate support for vulnerable youth, families in need and adults experiencing long-term poverty, all of whom are served by YSM.
The goal for this important annual event is to raise $140,000, to ensure support for as many community members as possible – at a time when need for YSM’s over 100 programs and services is at an all-time high.
Register!
Plan to walk either 2 or 5 km, and fundraise, in support of Toronto residents experiencing hardship. Our in-person event starting at St. Paul’s Bloor St. will offer a rest stop with refreshments, snacks and a community dinner at the end. Please join us for our heartwarming community event!
