Introducing the 2025 Gala

"Behind Every Mask Is A Story" Masquerade Gala

This year, our gala theme focuses on unmasking the truth behind infertility. We invite you to step into a night of awareness, hope, and solidarity, where we break the stigma and share the real stories behind the masks. Through powerful storytelling, performances, and community support, we aim to transform hidden struggles into open conversations, fostering a world where no one faces infertility alone.

Why Fertility?

Infertility likely affects someone you love and you don’t even know it.

Infertility affects 1 in 6 adults trying to conceive. 

Infertility is everywhere but is not discussed and people you love are likely suffering because of it, alone.  

With your support we can change the conversation while increasing access to life changing care. 

Fertility treatments are expensive, and access to the best care is limited.

A single IVF treatment can cost upwards of $15,000-$20,000. 

The average success rate of an IVF treatment is 33% and most need 2 or more treatment cycles to achieve a live birth.

This is out of reach for many Canadians. For those who do start fertility treatment, many have to stop because they can’t afford it.
