Durham Catholic Children Foundation Gala

11th Annual Foundation Gala

The Durham Catholic Children’s Foundation (DCCF), in partnership with the Durham Catholic District School Board, is pleased to announce the return of its signature gala event. The 11th Annual Durham Catholic Children’s Foundation Gala is a wonderful opportunity for the Catholic community and its partners to come together in the spirit of faith, joy and unity.

Since its launch in 2014 the DCCF has raised over $720,000 to provide essential services and support to children and families in need. We recognize that now, more than ever, students and families need our help. Over 25% of individuals in Durham Region are reported to experience food insecurity, there has been a rise in families experiencing issues related to housing and low income in our community.

This signature event is a crucial part of our fundraising efforts. We would like to personally invite you to share in this celebration of community and be part of this year’s event to be held on Wednesday, April 23, 2025, at the Tosca Banquet Hall (800 Champlain Ave, Oshawa).

Please note: Regular price ($130) purchasers will receive a $70 tax receipt.

Attendee ticket sales are now closed
