Thank you to everyone who joined us for an evening of Celtic delight! Yonge Street Mission hosted our fifth annual Bright Lights event on October 27, 2011 at The Carlu, in support of YSM’s Student Awards Program. Bright Lights brought in over $70,000 in support of the student awards program! Thank you to everyone who came out to support us. We hope to see you next year!

About the Student Award Fund
In offering your support, you are standing behind worthy students, helping them to reach their academic goals and change their lives. All proceeds from Bright Lights go to our Student Awards Fund, allowing over 40 underprivileged youth to pursue their post-secondary dreams. In addition to the financial support, students are matched with an adult mentor for advice and guidance, to ensure they have the foundation they need for success.
I see this award not as gift package for my community hours, but as an opportunity, and encouragement for me to pursue higher education. Even half-way through the first semester, I have already written 5 midterms, but whenever I feel discouraged by the level of difficulty, I remember that there are a crowd of people -- and especially my mentor, Liz -- behind me, supporting me and believing that I can overcome everything and make it through. All in all, I am especially grateful for what this award has given me beyond the financial support.”
said Fiona (above in the blue dress), first-year student at University of Toronto studying Engineering Science.
Sponsorship
We appreciate our many donors, supporters, volunteers and sponsors over the years who have made Bright Lights such a success. Our students need your commitment to stand behind them as they pursue the next steps in their academic journey.
If you are interested in joining us this year with a sponsorship or in-kind donation, please download the Sponsorship Package here or call Rebecca Chan, Manager of Special Events, at 416-929-9614 ext. 4255 or email rchan@ysm.ca. We look forward to hearing from you.
