CAUSES WE SUPPORT
OUR WORK IS ENRICHED BY THE PEOPLE AND CAUSES WE STAND BESIDE.

Our involvement underscores a commitment to justice, compassion, and the well-being of our community.
One of the world's most prestigious wine and culinary events, the Grand Cru Culinary Wine Festival gathers renowned chefs, global vintners, and leading medical researchers to raise funds for the University Health Network.

The 519 is a City of Toronto agency and one of Canada’s most respected LGBTQ2S+ organizations, offering essential services, advocacy, and space for community connection. From newcomer support to trans programming, anti-violence initiatives to queer parenting resources, The 519 plays a vital role in advancing equity, safety, and inclusion.
During PRIDE 2021 & 2022, we launched a special edition collection of PRIDE MASKS and donated 10% of proceeds to The 519. The initiative offered clients the chance to celebrate individuality while giving back, with optional custom monogramming and a curated palette of vibrant fabrics.
PHILANTHROPY WITH PURPOSE
Our involvement spans a range of initiatives, each reflecting the character and vision of its founders.
NEXT GENERATION GIVING
We’re inspired by a new wave of philanthropists reimagining how causes connect with community. Events like SUNDAY BEST TORONTO and the MUSKOKA MOTOR RALLY reflect this spirit—where style and celebration meet serious impact. Our role includes sponsorships, in-kind contributions, and on-the-ground support.
MEDICAL INNOVATION & COMMUNITY HEALTH
From emergency care in cottage country to cardiac research in the city, we’re honoured to support healthcare initiatives across Ontario. Our contributions help fund advancements at institutions like UHN and SickKids, support frontline care in Muskoka and Aurora, and enhance patient experiences through events that blend philanthropy with hospitality.
SAFETY, SOLIDARITY & SUPPORT
We also support efforts that uphold dignity, equity, and care. Whether contributing to Victim Services Toronto through the Chief’s Gala, or partnering with The 519 to uplift LGBTQ2S+ communities, we stand with those offering sanctuary and empowerment. True style is inseparable from substance, and community is built as much in quiet resilience as in celebration.
TAILORING GENEROSITY
CRAFTED CONTRIBUTIONS
Over the past decade, we’ve contributed more than $80,000 in bespoke services to charitable causes, not as a formality, but as a reflection of shared values. Whether offering tailored auction prizes or dressing hosts for the occasion, our involvement is always personal, crafted with the same precision and care we bring to every commission.
OUR ONGOING COMMITMENT
ALWAYS IN GOOD COMPANY
Community is not a campaign, it’s part of our fabric. We remain committed to supporting the people and projects that shape this city for the better. If you’re planning a cause-driven event and would like to explore a collaboration, we welcome the conversation.
