1000 Women Gala

Celebrate the power of collective impact at 1000 Women’s biggest fundraising event of the year!  

A thousand sparks. One glow. A single spark of generosity is beautiful on its own. United with others, it ignites into a bright and powerful force for far-reaching change.  

That's the principle behind the 1000 Women movement—a community of committed, compassionate women and allies, fuelled by a shared purpose to reduce barriers to education and the belief that the most meaningful impact is built together. 

This year’s 1000 Women Gala fundraising event will shine as an inspiring and immersive experience. Don your most sparkling ensemble, gather with friends, and be swept into an illuminating evening where light, elegance, and purpose take centre stage.

Let’s make this year the most impactful year yet. 

Last year, our community came together to raise over $1 million in support of reducing barriers to education at NorQuest College. This year, by joining the 1000 Women movement, your generosity helps carry that momentum forward, supporting even more students with financial barriers who aspire to turn their dreams of post‑secondary education into reality.
