Countdown to the 2025 Cayford Gala

by

Get Ready for the 6th Annual Cayford Gala!

We can’t wait to welcome you to an unforgettable evening of connection, celebration, and purpose at the Cayford Gala this Saturday.

This is our annual & signature event honouring the legacy of Christopher Cayford and the countless young adults whose courage inspires Forward Foundation’s mission every day.

This year’s theme is Red Carpet Ready. Dress to express yourself, with a touch of red, a creative twist, or whatever makes you shine.  

Thank you for your support in raising vital funds to create meaningful experiences for young adults living with life-limiting illness.

What to Expect

  • Plan a safe ride home or stay the night and book a room with our preferred rate
  • Skytrain – Capstan Station (Canada Line) or limited parking onsite
  • Dance the night away with the incredible DJ duo Frangelo and live band, Trilojay
  • Delicious dinner and drinks in the company of friends and community
