UPDATES FROM THE COMMUNITY


heARTS for Pakistan

heARTS for Pakistan, a silent art auction and fundraiser, was held on October 18th at Toronto’s Gladstone Hotel. More than 200 guests bid on more than 80 pieces of art, including paintings, photography, and sculptures, which were generously donated by Canadian and international artists.


By the end of the night, more than $15,000 was raised in support of flood relief programs in Pakistan. Thanks to the Canadian government match, these funds were increased to almost $23,000. We extend our sincere thanks to the organizers of this event who worked very hard to make the event a success and raise much needed funds for the people of Pakistan.


Corporate Support

Once again, the support of Canada’s corporate sector has allowed the HUMANITARIAN COALITION to reach out to Canadians across the country. The support of CTV, CBC and ebay Canada during the recent Pakistan Appeal was a great demonstration that we can help more people when we work together. Simply by offering TV and radio airtime and online banners, these corporations helped Canadians find out more about the crisis and how they could help. We extend our thanks to these organizations and the many others that continue to support us. Together, we can save more lives.
