RISE is the purpose-driven fundraising event of the summer, uniting Toronto’s most influential changemakers, tastemakers, and business leaders in support of Victim Services Toronto (VST).

VST is Toronto’s leading provider of on-site crisis, trauma, safety, and support services for victims of crime and sudden tragedy. As the city’s only comprehensive 24/7 crisis support and intervention service, VST delivers immediate and ongoing life-saving support to individuals and families navigating unimaginable circumstances.

RISE will support a groundbreaking initiative: a specialized post-court therapy program for child and youth victims of abuse, empowering them to recover, rebuild, and reclaim their sense of safety and well-being.
