Thank you for attending and supporting the ninth annual edition of Joey Elias and the Comedy All-Stars: An Evening of Hilarity for the Benefit of On Our Own (O3) at the Royalmount Drive-In on Wednesday, August 26th.
The event brought the media, advertising, and ad tech worlds, and Montrealers together to raise essential funding for O3. This year’s collective effort raised $ 105,357 bringing the grand total of donations raised to date for this non-profit to over $ 717,957.
The funds raised will help O3 to continue to positively impact the lives of young mothers and fathers and their children in Montreal – particularly now, as they face more food and financial insecurities brought on by the rippling effects of the pandemic. Learn more here.
100% of your donations go directly to helping the women and children at O3, who need our help now more than ever.
O3 is a Montreal-based charitable organization dedicated to helping young, single mothers and their children achieve a better quality of life through affordable transitional housing, educational programs, and critical support services.
In the face of COVID-19, many of O3’s 29 parents have lost their jobs and are single parenting for very young children, all alone, 24/7. What’s more, the educational programs and weekly childcare respite O3 offers residents moms so they can concentrate on continued education or self-betterment are unavailable due to social distancing measures and short staffing. Their needs for financial support to protect these vulnerable members of our community are growing by the day.
