In 2005, we launched the Canadian Sponsorship Forum at the Grey Cup in Vancouver. Thank you, Dana Gladstone and Brent Scrimshaw, for being our first-ever partners.
Fast forward to November 2025, and we are excited to commemorate twenty years of convening great people with the SponsorshipX Changemakers Summit in Toronto, with our partners at the Northern Super League - thank you, Diana Matheson, Christina Litz, and Marianne Brooks!
To celebrate, we want to raise $ 20,000 for Park Street Education, a charity we launched in 2020 to help break barriers in Education. The charity bears the name Park Street in honour of my still living father, who taught at my high school, Park Street Collegiate Institute in Orillia, where I also attended, which was torn down a few years ago. This fundraising will directly impact the students, helping them overcome barriers and succeed in their Education.
Park Street Education (https://www.parkstreetedu.com/) is a national registered Canadian charity providing free, high-impact virtual after-school programs for students in Grades 4–12. Their mission is to close the equity gap in Education by supporting underserved youth, including those facing socioeconomic barriers, rural isolation and systemic challenges. We combine academic tutoring with peer-to-peer learning and social-emotional support, guided by a Whole Child approach.
With strong retention rates and partnerships with youth-serving organizations across Canada, Park Street has been thriving in building confidence, motivation and belonging, helping students succeed academically while developing the skills and resilience they need to thrive in school and in life. We are proud of what we have achieved so far and look forward to your continued support.
As a participant at the Changemakers Summit, you can help us make change by supporting Park Street. In addition to the $100 donation from your registration, delegates can also personally add to the donation when they register or visit our website. In addition, we will donate a percentage of net summit sponsorship revenue to provide a vehicle for our Changemaking Partners to support the event. Our fundraising campaign will run from September 9th to November 30th, 2025, so we encourage you to donate as soon as possible.
SponsorshipX is excited for you to get to know Park Street, as we will soon be introducing you to the team, the tutors, and the students throughout our journey to the Changemakers Summit. We are grateful for your support and look forward to celebrating our achievements together.
