Abbey’s Goal x Tokki present faye and Fluffy’s amazing drag queen storytime for toronto pride 2023
What a joyful and amazing day we had, celebrating community, literacy and PRIDE in Toronto with so many amazing friends and family. We were honoured to work with Tokki to present Toronto’s very own, Faye and Fluffy Drag Queen Storytime. Hundreds of children and families gathered together in the park for a beautiful morning of stories and songs celebrating belonging and community! As part of the free event, we were able to make a donation in Faye and Fluffy’s name to the Toronto 519.
ABBEY’S BIRTHDAY TOY DRIVE
Abbey’s Goal is proud to collect toys every year for our annual Abbey’s Goal Birthday Kindness Drive. Hundreds of toys were donated to children at Ernestine’s Shelter, a residence and outreach program for families leaving domestic abuse. People from all over Toronto dropped by to bring a toy, share a cup of (socially distanced) hot chocolate and snap some festive holiday pics at our photo set up scene. Thank you for celebrating Abbey’s birthday with us every year.
Rainbow revolution
During the Covid-19 crisis, Abbey’s Goal was proud to initiate a Rainbow Revolution, handing out over 1000 DIY rainbow tree kits for a donation to The Stop Community Food Centre. The rainbow trees offered gratitude to frontline workers, hope to communities and raised $20,000 for The Stop. Thank you for coming together to spread love in Abbey’s name.
