Enjoy Lula Lounge, a Latin-inspired and lively venue, with classy cocktails and canapés at the beginning of the holiday celebration season. After an opening memorial to remember the women lost to violence on December 6, 1989 and over the past year, you will enjoy live music by Latin Jazz artist Lady Son, and have an opportunity to mix and mingle with some of our City’s most interesting and engaging women.

Tickets are $75 each and include hors d’oeuvres and a complimentary cocktail. This YWCA December 6 Fund event, supports the YWCA December 6 Fund, allowing women and their children to leave violent homes by granting them greater safety with interest-free loans; easing the financial burden of leaving an abuser and starting all over again. The December 6 Fund was established in 1994, to commemorate the 14 women murdered at L’École Polytechnique in Montreal on December 6, 1989. Since its inception, more than 730 women have directly benefited from these loans. In 2007, 85 women and 122 children accessed over $56,800 in loans. In April2007, the December 6 Fund became a YWCA Toronto program.
