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.

All events are in support of the Toronto People With AIDS Foundation.

Tighty Whitey Car Wash

THANK YOU to Jon Henderson, Mr Steamworks 2009, and all the volunteers, models, donors and sponsors for making the 2009 Tighty Whitey Car Wash such a success. $3,500 was raised for the practical direct support services provided at the Toronto People With AIDS Foundation.

The Imperial Court of Toronto (TICOT)

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 32 elected Monarchs, TICOT has entertained thousands, held many successful events and rasied money for a number of local charities, including PWA, Casey House, AIDS Committee of Toronto, AIDS Memorial, AIDS Tijuana, Canadian Lesbian and Gay Archives, Toronto Metropolitan Police (purchased their 1st bikes for community patrols) and Gilda's Club. Each year, the elected Empress and Emperor select charities towards which fundraised dollars will be designated that year.
