À propos de cette campagne

When you support the Because of BALANCE Campaign, you change lives! Due largely to this campaign, this year we have launched the expansion of 2 of our services to the entire province of Ontario. This ability, to provide instruction and support to people who live outside Toronto, will bring our incredible services to so many more people!

Proceeds from the campaign have also supported our Sharing Space Support Group for 6 years. These funds help with purchasing supplies and equipment for AT apprentices and our staff. With more funds we have been able to expand our fitness  and arts programming like boxing, self defense, vocal coaching, creative writing and drama.  

This year, I’m raising funds in memory of my mother-in-law, Hykie Ballett, who passed away on September 2, at the remarkable age of 90. She was a long-time enthusiastic and committed donor to BALANCE. In the last few years of her life, Hykie lived with low vision due to AMD (Age-related macular degeneration). She helped me understand better the struggles related to adjusting to sight loss, and ideas about programs, information and advocacy that might benefit others

When you support my story, or any of the wonderful stories in this Campaign, you give to a small, nimble organization that is mighty in the change we create in people's lives. Your gift has a real and direct impact on the lives of so many. At BALANCE, your donation makes a DIFFERENCE.
