You are cordially invited to the 22nd Annual

FUNDRAISING GALA

Sat. Nov. 14th 2026  |  Windermere House  |  Doors Open 5:30 PM

The Children’s Foundation of Muskoka (CFM) is set to host the 22nd Fundraising Gala on Saturday, November 14th, 2026 to help raise vital funds and awareness for the CFM. The evening includes a cocktail hour with hors d'oeuvres, your choice of a 3-course plated dinner and late night buffet all in support of the Children’s Foundation of Muskoka. With help from generous sponsors and an incredible silent and live auction, all proceeds go to providing grants to under-resourced children and youth in Muskoka to participate in sports and recreation activities, take part in the arts, go to camp, receive mental wellness supports, access basic needs like a bed or winter clothes, or access post-secondary learning opportunities.
