Stand Up For Kids Night with Children’s Aid Foundation of Canada


Stand Up for Kids Night

An evening celebrating generosity, gratitude and grit

Stand Up For Kids Night pays tribute to the power of collective and individual achievement. Together, we’ll honour the accomplishments of the young people we serve and thank our community of donors and volunteers for their dedication to creating brighter futures for families, children, and youth involved with the child welfare system. At this year’s reimagined event we will also share more about our programs, initiatives, and activities.

This year’s event will be in June 2024.
