Thank you to everyone who joined us for an unforgettable evening at our 2025 World of Difference Cocktail Reception.

Together, we celebrated the power of community and partnership in helping jobseekers build meaningful careers. The evening was filled with inspiring moments, including remarks from our President & CEO, Allison Pond, and Board Co-Chair, Andrea Robertson,  as well as moving alumni stories shared by Tom Oluwole, Mufaddal Munshi (Muffa), and Majek Ofenor. 

We were thrilled to announce SEPHORA Canada’s generous $50,000 gift, alongside support from TD, Accenture, SciCan, Mastercard, HP Foundation, Starbucks—our entertainment sponsor—and Bruce Power, whose team shared heartfelt words of encouragement.

Guests also enjoyed an interactive Giving Tree, a lively lottery, and a silent auction, all contributing to the launch of our three-year, $1.5 million campaign. This initiative will ensure we continue to deliver sector-specific programs and meet jobseekers where they are.
