Fundraisers
West Side Family Place is a Registered Canadian Charity that generates the majority of its revenue through community-wide fundraising events.
Every dollar raised has the potential to make a big difference to the lives of local families now and in the future.
West Side Family Place’s Funding Breakdown
The funding we receive from the Provincial and Municipal government covers slightly more than half the cost of our Play and Learn Family Drop-in and Parent Education Programs.
Here’s how you can help:
Annual Gala
Attend, sponsor, donate or buy an auction item at our annual gala!
Held in the fall of each year, this event is a magical night of fun and entertainment featuring music, dancing, refreshments and auctions sponsored by local businesses and supporters.
50th Anniversary Celebration
In 2023, we celebrate 50 years since West Side Family Place was founded.
Watch this space for a year of fundraising and entertainment!
