The Big Toddle is an annual community fundraising event organized by College-Montrose Children’s Place (CMCP) that brings together over 400 attendees, including 140 child participants (0 – 7 years old), their families, local businesses, and the broader community to support CMCP.
This year marks the 8th annual event, which was initially known as the “Family Fun Festival.”
Our goal for this year is to raise $30,000 to help save our home and ensure the continued delivery of high-quality free early learning and family support programs.
Starting on July 13th, participants will have six weeks to fundraise, culminating in a fun-filled event day on August 17th at Trinity Bellwoods Park from 9:30 AM to 12:30 PM.
Why Should You Register Your Children for 2024 The Big Toddle:
Secure CMCP’s Home: With Artscape entering receivership and our spaces being put up for sale, securing our home is now more critical than ever. Without immediate support, CMCP faces the risk of losing its location, jeopardizing the continuation of our essential services. Funds raised are crucial to ensure we have a stable and permanent place to continue serving our community.
