The Chai Tikvah / The Life and Hope Foundation is hosting our third annual gala dinner and auction on Thursday, 23 June 2016 at District Oven restaurant in Toronto.

Our guest speaker this year is the former Toronto Maple Leaf’s star and Hall of Fame hockey player Ron Ellis.

Our foundation’s mission is to support the growing need for mental health initiatives in our community. One of our main programmes is supportive housing. We currently have 2 homes: the Jerry Turk Fellowship Home, and the Life & Hope Foundation Triplex, a residential facility that provides people the ability to live semi-independently within their community, while receiving the necessary support to cultivate their life living skills and manage their mental health issues. We also provide supportive services to the community, including to former residents of our home who have now integrated back into the community.

In 2015, we raised almost $12,000 for our organization. This year, our goal is to raise $20,000. All funds raised through the evening, will go directly towards supportive housing for mental health.
