Community Events
PWA participates in several community events coordinated by other
organizations. We are always looking for new and innovative ways to further
our goal of supporting people living with HIV/AIDS. If you would like to
raise funds for PWA by having an event, please contact our Director of Development and Communications.
The Imperial Court of Toronto (TICOT) www.ticot.org
The Imperial Court of Toronto was founded in 1987 with the original mandate
of promoting 'Friendship, Unity and Nonsense' (F.U.N.) through holding
entertaining and fundraising events.
Since its founding in 1987, under the leadership of 31 elected Monarchs,
TICOT has entertained thousands, held many successful events and rasied
money for a number of local charities, including Casey House, The Toronto
PWA Foundation, AIDS Committee of Toronto, AIDS Tijuana, The Canadian
Lesbian and Gay Archives, the Toronto Metropolitan Police (1stBikes), Sick
Children's Hospital, and Gilda's Club. Each year, the elected Empress and
Emperor select charities towards which fundraised dollars will be
designated that year.
Her Most Imperial Sovereign Majesty, The New Look, Maple Leaf Empress,
Empress XXI Bitsie Vanderbelt has chosen the Toronto People With AIDS
Foundation, Food For Life meal delivery program, as the recipient of all fundraising
activities for 2007/2008!
