H.O.P.E. (Helping Other People Everywhere) Toronto Inc. is a registered charity committed to raising awareness and funds for local charities. We are a volunteer driven organization (only 1 staff) and we’re continuously seeking opportunities to increase the proceeds directed to the selected charity partners.
Our strategy is to create a community atmosphere at fundraiser events, encouraging attendees to have fun while raising funds.
Our History:
- HOPE Toronto Inc. was created in 1984, following a similar format as our sister charity in Ottawa founded in 1980.
- HOPE has run various fundraising events, from dance parties to boat cruises.
- In 1988, HOPE organized a summer volleyball tournament on Toronto Island, which has since grown to be HOPE Toronto’s flagship event.
