As a Member of The 519’s Board of Directors, I’m proud to be fundraising for The 519’s 50th Legacy Fund.

The 519’s 50th Legacy Fund is our promise to be here for the long haul, through uncertainty, crisis, and change. Your donation today provides the stability and flexibility we need to respond when our communities need us most and to invest boldly in what comes next. Can we count on you to help secure the future of Toronto’s 2SLGBTQ+ communities?

The 519 has been a vital part of Toronto’s 2SLGBTQ+ community for generations. As a teenager, I experienced that impact firsthand through its youth programming, which gave me support, connection, and a sense of belonging when it mattered most. Because of that, supporting The 519 is deeply personal to me. I hope you will consider making a donation to help this remarkable organization continue providing care, community, and opportunity for others.
