AFGI Proudly Supports the Baeumler Family Foundation Gala at the Ritz-Carlton Toronto

The Baeumler family hosted their annual black-tie fundraising gala at the elegant Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Toronto, bringing together over 500 guests to raise awareness and funds for children and family advocacy initiatives. The evening featured live karaoke, handcrafted cocktails, and a gourmet dinner prepared by renowned celebrity chef Lynn Crawford.

A highlight of the night was the interactive silent auction professionally managed by AFGI, Canada’s trusted leader in charity auction services. Our team provided seamless execution and curated premium auction items that helped maximize fundraising results.

The event was held in partnership with title sponsor Lowe’s Canada, whose mission includes providing critical home renovations for families in need — ensuring accessibility, safety, and nurturing environments for children across the country.

Proceeds from the gala support vital organizations focused on children’s health and mental well-being, including:

  • SickKids Foundation

  • The Reach Out Centre for Kids (ROCK)

  • Easter Seals Ontario

AFGI is honoured to contribute our silent auction expertise to such meaningful causes, helping to elevate fundraising events and drive real impact for Canadian families.
