Events

MCRC’s Empowerment Programs rely heavily on fundraising events to ensure all citizens have fair and equitable access to services and supports that will level the playing field and boost their trajectory of success.

  • The Infant Food Bank helps local families in need by providing a monthly supply of diapers, formula, baby food and cereal.
  • She Can! programs are free and designed to empower and uplift girls and gender diverse youth in our community.
  • The Period Power Initiative provides a range of period products, including panty-liners, tampons, pads, and menstrual cups, through our Infant Food Bank

MCRC events also help to raise awareness of these vital programs and the impact we are making in the community for families and children.

Each year, MCRC hosts a variety of signature events:

Highlights From Past Events

KNIGHTS & TIARAS: ENCHANTED KINGDON ADVENTURE

May 3, 2025

MCRC’s  Knights and Tiaras: The Enchanted Kingdom Family Gala was an unforgettable evening filled with magic, joy and memories to tressure. Guests were welcomed into a whimsical kingdom where they met Princess Belle, Princess Tiana, and the noble Knight Sir William Thalian for a night straight out of a fairytale.

Families walked the red carpet and posed for a royal photo to treasure forever. A delicious pasta dinner was served, followed by enchanting character encounters, interactive activities, and danced the evening away.

Thanks to the generous support of our attendees, sponsors and vendors we raised over $5,000 in support of MCRC’s She Can! programs-empowering girls and gender-diverse youth in the Halton community to grow up confident, resilient, and supported in their well-being.

Stay tuned — the kingdom gates will open again next year!
