LCBO’s annual Pride campaign, Love Pairs with Everything, raised $1.6 million to support health, wellness, and safety programs for charity partners
CANFAR is tremendously grateful for the kind support of LCBO in pledging $360,000 as part of their social impact platform, Spirit of Sustainability, to help close gaps in HIV awareness and access to care in Ontario.
“LOVE PAIRS WITH EVERYTHING” is LCBO’s annual Pride campaign, which this year raised $1.6 million in support of the health and wellbeing of the 2SLGBTQI+ community. This year’s campaign celebrated love in all forms, creating meaningful ways to create change and impact. The money raised will support charity partners including Casey House, Egale Canada, Rainbow Railroad, The 519 and CANFAR.
“LCBO is committed to supporting local organizations that help ensure Ontarians have equitable access to the resources they need.” says Aaron Campbell, Chief of Staff & Vice President, Corporate Affairs, Strategy & Sustainability, “Thanks to the generous donations of our customers while shopping in-store, we are proud to support CANFAR’s mission.”
The generous support from LCBO will help CANFAR continue to make a bold impact, by directing investments and efforts where they are needed most: closing gaps in awareness and access to care for youth and priority populations across Ontario.
By investing in initiatives and projects to close these gaps, we can reach the undiagnosed, link people to care and prevention at the right time, and effectively reduce transmissions – this will have a significant impact on the healthcare system in Ontario and ultimately benefit the various communities in need.
“We are deeply grateful for the unwavering support and generosity of LCBO in our mission to end the HIV epidemic,” says Alex Filiatrault, CEO. “CANFAR is dedicated to investing in and fostering effective research, building awareness, and cultivating partnerships to share expertise and encourage joint action in the fight against HIV/AIDS.”
