Why We Do It
Charities
Mystique Event Marketing is proud to have partnered with many charities across Ontario to help raise funds for their causes. Currently we are partnered with these great groups.

Special Olympics Ontario has optimized the benefits of a healthy and active lifestyle through sport to improve the well-being of individuals with an intellectual disability. We continue to improve and expand the quality, opportunity and accessibility of sport to individuals with an intellectual disability. Along with this, we strive to improve upon both the awareness and support of the community in regards to Special Olympics Ontario and those involved with us. As an organization, we work to ensure our volunteers are strongly committed to acting locally while thinking globally. Through these steps, we hope to continue to build upon the past success of the organization
As you would imagine, life for a child with cancer is filled with pain, hospital visits, treatment, and sacrifice.
“Help A Child Smile” was created in 1987 from the need to bring some joy into the lives of children with cancer. The wish of a brave young child to go to Wonderland soon after it opened inspired family and friends, and Help A Child Smile was born.
Now in its fourth decade, HACS is serving over 1500 families whose child is being or has been treated for cancer at McMaster Children’s Hospital. There are an average of 150 children in active treatment at any given time.
The Board of Directors remains dedicated to providing opportunities for these children to smile and have fun, even if only for a couple of hours, a day, or a week.
We believe in the lasting positive impact that camp can have on the lives of all children, and in the significant difference it can make to children growing up with unique life challenges. For children from Canadian Military Families for example, the frequent relocations inherent in military life can challenge their ability to develop lasting friendships. They can cope with unique uncertainties such as lengthy deployments of family members, the impact of an injury to a parent, the inherent stress to families involved in military service, and for some…the impact of grief and loss.
Children growing up with other significant life challenges also face real obstacles to inclusion and can be challenged to feel that sense of belonging that is so crucial to their wellbeing. Camp Maple Leaf creates that special new place where children enjoy a fun-filled camp experience that can make all the difference in their resiliency and confidence….key assets to their ability to thrive in an increasingly challenging world.
