Dream Serenade summer bursary update

Due to limited funding this year we had to reduce the scope of our Summer Bursary program, but thanks to generous donations from our incredible community we were still able to assist some families. This spring Dream Serenade worked with 7 Social Workers from across the GTA to identify 25 families most in need of the Dream Serenade Bursary. We are happy that funds could still go to those who need it the most and look forward to our fundraising concert in the fall so we can get back to supporting as many families as possible next spring.

You can help us get our usual Summer Bursary program back at full capacity by making an online donation or buying a ticket to this year’s Dream Serenade on November 12 at Massey Hall. Thank you for your continued support!
