Fundraiser for Medical Aid in Gaza

Join us for an evening dedicated to raising funds for Médecins Sans Frontières/Doctors Without Borders (MSF) and their lifesaving medical work in Gaza.

MSF teams, the majority of whom are Palestinian, are on the ground providing urgent medical care to people affected by the ongoing crisis—treating the wounded, performing surgeries, supporting overwhelmed hospitals, and delivering essential medical supplies.

Your ticket purchase and donations will directly support MSF’s Gaza Emergency Regional Fund, helping ensure that families in Gaza and surrounding regions receive the critical care they need.

🎟️ Regular Admission: $100

📅 Date: Friday, October 24, 2025
🕡 Time: 6:30–8:30 pm
📍 Location: Cecil Centre, 58 Cecil St, Toronto, ON M5T 1N6

If you cannot attend but wish to contribute, donations can be made directly through our fundraising page . We will also be accepting donations at the event. Please note that tax receipts will be issued for donations only.

The event will feature:

• Guest speakers, including MSF physicians who have worked in Gaza

Every contribution counts. Together, we can stand in solidarity and help MSF continue their lifesaving work.

Médecins Sans Frontières/Doctors Without Borders (MSF) provides life-saving medical humanitarian assistance in more than 70 countries. This includes medical and psychological assistance to people affected by the ongoing conflict in the West Bank and Gaza.

In the West Bank and Gaza, MSF teams are responding to the devastating health impacts of ongoing conflict and restrictions on access to care. They support people affected by burns and trauma with a multidisciplinary approach that can include surgical care, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, health education, and psychosocial support.

In the West Bank, MSF addresses the profound impact of occupation, violence, unemployment, and poverty on the mental health of Palestinians. Teams provide psychological support in Hebron, Nablus, and Qalqilya, and offer healthcare services in Hebron’s H2 area, where movement restrictions limit access to hospitals and clinics. Mobile clinics also reach communities in Masafer Yatta, where families face home demolitions and risk of forcible transfer.

Cecil Centre is easily accessible along the Spadina LRT Route at Nassau, walking distance from Queens Park, the University of Toronto, and the Waterfront, with nearby parking at the Kensington Market Green P.
