We’re thrilled to announce that this year’s 2015 Festival Gala will be held on Sunday, September 13.

For the past four years, APJ’s annual event has become a mainstay during the Toronto International Film Festival, acquiring a strong following of philanthropists, businesspeople, film stars, directors, musicians, and artists from around the world who come out to have fun and raise vital funds for our programs in Haiti.

We are thrilled that this year’s event will once again take place at Liberty Group’s Casa Loma, a treasured piece of Toronto history.

The evening will feature an elegant cocktail and dinner gala in the castle garden, followed by a very special musical performance.

Be on the lookout for more announcements on co-hosts, performers, and tickets over the next few weeks and in the meantime look back on a few of our past Toronto events here, here and here!

To inquire about sponsorship, tickets, or anything else please contact us.

Seven brilliant and beautiful women came to Haiti to visit the Academy for Peace and Justice, the St. Damien’s Children’s Hospital and Cite-Soleil, one of the poorest slums of the Western hemisphere.

The students were extremely inspired by these successful women and leaders who shared their experiences.

These extraordinary women are:

Natasha Koifman, APJ Canada Board Chair and Founder of NKPR, Sylvia Mantella, Chief Marketing Officer of Mantella Corporation, Lola Schnabel, renowned artist, Gisella Marengo, Italian actress and producer, Madalina Ghenea, Romanian actress and fashion model, Lori Manuel Steed and Birgit Grossmann Coles, owners of Simbi Inc.
