Carefirst 2026 "Young at Heart" Charity Gala
Celebrating 50 Years of Caring
Thank you Carefirst Board Members and Dignitaries for supporting the organization!
What a golden evening to remember! It was a pleasure to come together on March 21, 2025 at the Sheraton Parkway Toronto North Hotel for Carefirst’s 2026 Young at Heart Charity Gala, a milestone evening celebrating 50 years of caring, compassion, and community impact.
This annual signature fundraising event brought together over 500 supporters, partners, community leaders, and friends of Carefirst to celebrate our legacy, recognize the impact of collective generosity, and look ahead to the future of integrated health and community care. The program featured inspiring charity performances, a gourmet dinner, exciting auctions and exclusive prizes. Thanks to the overwhelming generosity of our community, we are excited to share that together we raised $363,000 to support the development of Carefirst’s “Campus of Care”!
