About the Foundation

Every event funds real care

What began as a gathering of friends in 2005 has grown into Montréal's largest gourmet charity gala, with thousands of guests under one tent every year. Now the Strangers in the Night Foundation is bringing the same night to Toronto, with the same purpose: every ticket, table, bid and donation goes toward charities that care for children.
