Kids Up Front Foundation (Toronto) is a new charity making a big difference in our community.

Through our partnerships with corporations, entertainment venues and the public, we are able to «recycle» tickets that would otherwise go to waste, and distribute them to our child-serving partner agencies. They, in turn, give the tickets to the kids and families they serve – providing them with the opportunity to attend a variety of world-class events, including concerts, live theatre performances, sporting events, gallery visits and so much more.

Kids Up Front’s programs benefit everyone, and provide an easy way for corporations, entertainment venues and the public to give back to the community. Seats will be filled and galleries will be crowded with people who typically have been isolated from this sector of society giving them a chance to lead healthier, more producitve lives. It just doesn’t make sense to throw away a ticket when there are so many who can benefit. «Can’t Use Your Ticket?» provides a win-win situation for the entire community. A donation as small as two tickets can provide a child with a unique and memorable experience.

Kids Up Front believes that our community is rich in talent and creativity. Unfortunately barriers such as poverty, illness, disability and minority status prevent many groups from experiencing the art, cultural, musical and recreational events that go on in our city. Kids Up Front's programs will allow more of Toronto's population to participate in community events.

We know these opportunities make a difference. Our charitable agency partners have neither the time nor the budget to secure these kinds of opportunities for the kids – their focus is on providing food, shelter, counseling and clothing. However, they continually tell us that this «nourishment of the spirit» is exactly what so many need in order to cope, heal and «fit in».

If you can’t use your tickets, Kids Up Front can!
Please call or e-mail us: (416) 530-2352

Together we’re making a difference – one ticket at a time!

More than 75,000 opportunities have been provided at a value of more than 2.5 million dollars to over 125 child-serving agencies in just three years!
