Years of creating together

An evening of compassion, community, and commitment.

More than just candle-making, this workshop blended mindfulness, creativity, and community. Led by Jessie Arora of Atma Things, guests were invited to set their intentions, pour their own soy candle, and customize it with essential oils, herbs, and crystals.

Proceeds from the fundraiser allow us to continue the work we do to provide programs and support to vulnerable women and children residing in local shelters.

The 2024 Create for a Cause fundraiser was held at the stunning Oak Ridges Community Centre overlooking the serene Lake Wilcox. This picturesque setting provided the perfect backdrop for an evening dedicated to creativity, connection, and community.

The event featured a hands-on workshop led by team member Salma, where participants crafted beautiful sets of clay coasters. Following the workshop, guests enjoyed a delicious dinner, dessert, and time to socialize in a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who participated. It was a wonderful evening of bringing together like-minded women while supporting a meaningful cause!

For our Create for a Cause fundraiser, we enlisted the help of Jessie Arora of Atma Things to conduct her Moon Magic Candle workshop, and it was a magical night indeed!

It was a truly beautiful evening, with an amazing group of women coming together with creativity and intention.

Not only did we have the chance to reconnect with all of you, but we raised awareness and the funding needed to continue offering our programs and initiatives.

It was virtual programming for a second year, and while we wanted more than anything to get back to our in-person events, we still managed to put together a wonderfully informative and entertaining series of workshops, hosted by some incredibly talented instructors. We had a blast working alongside you all to quite literally “Create for a Cause”!

This year’s programming included a heart-pumping workout and meditative cool down, a calligraphy workshop, a hands-on cooking class, as well as a crafting class for kids as a special treat for Mother’s Day.

2020. The year of the Zoom call. The birth of Create for a Cause, Online Edition!

COVID couldn’t stop us from putting on our annual fundraiser. Not only did we get creative, but we got the help of some talented creatives to put on a 4-week series of workshops to get you doodling, cooking, moving, and making!

While we certainly missed meeting our friends and supporters at our event, we couldn’t have been happier with the incredible round-up of talent and enthusiastic participants in attendance for our series of virtual workshops in 2020.

Our first ever fundraiser, an engaging night of great art, food and company, all for a worthy cause!

Joined by Motives Art Co., Sandgate Women’s Shelter and a full house of amazing women, we had a fabulous time creating unique abstract pieces, connecting with friends, old and new, and raising awareness about issues affecting women in our communities.
