WHY WE RUN
Each year the Pride and Remembrance Association selects community charities who receive the charitable pledges.
Our chosen beneficiaries for 2014 are:
- Egale Canada Human Rights Trust
- LGBT Youth Suicide Prevention Toolkit.
Egale is a national charity promoting lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans human rights through research, education and community engagement. Support from this year’s Pride Run will provide funding for the creation of an LGBT Youth Suicide Prevention Toolkit to raise awareness of the unique challenges and mental health struggles of LGBT youth. Once complete, the toolkit will be distributed nationally to support networks (e.g. social workers, guidance counselors, teachers etc.) providing much needed educational awareness, as well as tools for prevention, intervention and after care.
- LGBT Youth Suicide Prevention Toolkit.
- Fife House
- The Pride and Remembrance Foundation
