Celebrating its 39^th year, the Night to Nurture Gala offers the grocery and food industry a unique opportunity to come together to make a significant and positive difference to children in Ontario. Funds raised through the Gala benefit organizations that nurture the whole child, such as Kids Help Phone and breakfast programs in Ontario schools. Since 2000, the industry-supported Night to Nurture has raised close to $39 million, with approximately $2 million raised at this year's event.

Shaun McKenna, executive director of The Grocery Foundation, says the event would not be possible without the support of the industry.

"These people make Night to Nurture a night to remember, and without them this event wouldn't happen."
