We The Bras Family Foundation, have made our 2008 donation to The Redwood, a Toronto shelter for woman and children fleeing domestic violence. We are pleased to support this program which recently celebrated its 15th Anniversary. You can learn more about The Redwood at www.theredwood.com
When we connected with the Redwood with our first donation in 2007 they were developing a new program, “The Community Reestablishment Expansion Project.” This initiative was a natural next step for The Redwood in the provision of emergency support. Statistics show that only 24% of women affected by violence seek help. This program reaches out into the community to connect with women who might not come directly to the shelter themselves. We are proud to be able to offer some assistance.
Our first and second contributions were to Gilda’s Club of Greater Toronto in 2005 and 2006. Specifically our donations went to The Teen Ambassador Program. To learn more about Gilda’s Club, please visit www.gildasclubtoronto.org.
Gilda’s Club Greater Torontoand Gilda’s Club Worldwide, provide a meeting place where men, women, teens and children living with or affected by cancer, and their families and friends, come together for emotional and social support, as a supplement to their treatment of choice.
We are pleased to support The Redwood and Gilda's Glub of Greater Toronto!
