On Thursday, August 14th, we had the absolute pleasure of hosting our very first donor appreciation soirée – a long-overdue celebration of gratitude for the generous donors who power our work when traditional funding doesn’t always go far enough.
Hosted by our Neighbours at Pumpjack, the Donors & Donuts event welcomed more than 40 donors who gathered to connect with one another, meet members of HIM’s Board and leadership team, and of course, enjoy delicious donuts and dazzling drag performances by Whore-ia Estefan and Wan-Ting Moi.
The room was filled with laughter, meaningful conversations, and plenty of smiles. Our team was especially grateful for the chance to connect with donors on a more personal level—to hear their stories, learn about their journeys in the community, and understand what inspires them to invest in HIM’s mission.
It was moving to witness so many generous community members – coming from all walks of life – sharing a common passion for the health and wellbeing of our communities.
This event marks just the beginning. Donors & Donuts is the first of many gatherings we plan to host, as we continue building stronger relationships with the people who make our work possible.
