Some of Our Causes

A big initiative for CASA Cares is hosting the annual Movember Gala, an event dedicated to challenging the status quo and raising awareness for men’s health. The team branches out to JMOSB, an association whose main focus is the Movember Movement, in order to raise funds for Movember Canada. Since 2003, this charity has funded over 1,250 men’s health projects from mental health to prostate cancer. They continuously look to improve men’s health research and revamp the way they can reach out and get support through different health services. In 2024, our JMoSB team raised a record amount of donations, the second most of any English university in Canada, for the Movember Foundation. We are thrilled to support this organization more than ever before, and are very proud of our students for participating in large numbers!

Our annual Terrace Party is an event in support of The Climate Reality Project Canada. Every dollar contributed helps raise awareness for a cause in desperate need of help. The Climate Reality Project Canada is a proud member of an international community of Climate Reality Project affiliates, seeking to raise awareness among all Canadians about the urgency of the climate crisis. Climate Reality works towards educating the public about the science and impacts of climate change as well as solutions to address the climate crisis.

Every year for the past 18 years, we host an annual Fashion Show where all proceeds go directly to the Montreal Children’s Hospital Foundation. The event’s profits donated will help in medical research towards the children’s recovery and support their families. Before our most important event, we host a Reveal Party at the beginning of the year where we celebrate the new upcoming Fashion Show while revealing to our guests and audience its most anticipated theme. This event is a great way to kick off the year and get everyone excited for the main event. In 2025, we are holding the event at Restaurant Pangea. Buy Tickets here! We are excited to see you there!
