FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Who is the gala for?
From the ER to the therapy couch, the yoga studio to the chiropractic table, if you help people show up for themselves, this night was made for you. Doctors, nurses, paramedics, therapists, chiropractors, coaches, nutritionists, and every health and wellness provider and practitioner across Durham Region and Ontario are welcome. We're also opening our doors to supporters and community members who simply want to say thank you because the people who care for this community deserve to be celebrated by it. 🧡
What is the dress code?
Semi-formal. Think cocktail attire. You know that dress you keep saying "I have nowhere to wear this?" Wear that.

Everything you need for an unforgettable evening - networking reception, buffet dinner, awards ceremony, silent auction, opportunity to find out live if who wins the TLC Impact Fund, door prizes, dancing, and a swag bag.

A NOTE FROM OUR FOUNDER
I created this gala because I know what it feels like to pour everything into caring for others and wonder if anyone sees it. I see it. This community sees it. And one evening a year, I want us to stop, look each other in the eye, and say thank you out loud.
This is my personal invitation to you. Whether you're a doctor, nurse, paramedic, therapist, coach, or anyone who helps people show up for themselves - I want you in the room. Come celebrate with us, connect with your community, and let yourself be celebrated for once. You've earned it.
