For those unable to attend, there is an option to make a donation in lieu, allowing supporters to contribute directly to the cause.

"We are so fortunate to live in such a welcoming and diverse city, but that doesn't come without its challenges for many people. The CPCTF is always looking for ways we can give back to our community and more specifically to our youth who find themselves fighting each day for food, shelter, or inclusion. We couldn't be more excited to host Otis Grant at Rumble Midtown so we can all learn to fight for those in need," said Andrew Burgess, President of the Canadian Progress Club Toronto Foundation.
