Durham Catholic Children Foundation Gala

10th Annual Foundation Gala

The Durham Catholic Children’s Foundation (DCCF), in partnership with the Durham Catholic District School Board, is pleased to announce the return of its signature gala event. The 10th Annual Durham Catholic Children’s Foundation Gala is a wonderful opportunity for the Catholic community and its partners to come together in the spirit of faith, joy and unity.  

Since its launch in 2014 the Durham Catholic Children’s Foundation has raised over $550,000 through the support of donors like you to bring hope to students and families in need. We look forward to seeing you at our gala!
