Mayor's Gala

Established in 2011, the Spirit of Generosity initiative has raised millions of dollars to enhance the lives of many in Vaughan and beyond. All net proceeds raised from the Mayor’s Gala and Mayor Steven Del Duca’s Annual Charity Golf Classic will be directed to the Spirit of Generosity initiative, which continues its meaningful support of more than 250 non-profit and community organizations, including children and youth groups, healthcare initiatives, seniors’ organizations, and special needs programs.

2025 Mayor’s Gala raises funds to support the Spirit of Generosity

With the theme of "Rise Up Vaughan," the 2025 Mayor's Gala, as highlighted in Mayor Del Duca's keynote address, focused on celebrating the tireless efforts of the dedicated residents, community organizations and public officials for investing in something bigger than themselves, and recommitting to the work ahead.

"I was delighted to see so many generous members of the community attend the 2025 Mayor’s Gala in support of the Spirit of Generosity; Vaughan continues to rise up and contribute millions of dollars to worthy causes around our city."

"It was a privilege to see America’s Got Talent winner Kodi Lee perform, not only because he is a wonderful singer, but also because of his inspiring charitable work with DANI, a Canadian organization that provides programming for individuals with disabilities."

"Vaughan is an ambitious city with a long and proud history, one that’s been influenced by champions and leaders who are committed to giving back to the community, like many of last night’s attendees. I’d like to express my heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has supported the Spirit of Generosity over the years and for continuing to give."

"Thank you for all that you do to help make a difference in Vaughan, so we can build an even better future for our current residents and for generations to come. When we come together as a community, there is truly nothing we can’t do.”
