This year's Unmasked includes private dinners held in Queen Street West area restaurants and galleries featuring some of Toronto's top chefs and caterers. Following the dinners, guests will join partygoers for the after-party at MARO nightclub in Liberty Village to celebrate and "lift the mask" on the stigma surrounding mental illness and addiction.

Up Close and Personal with Celebrities

The MARO after-party will be emceed by George Stroumboulopoulos of CBC's The Hour, and will feature a live art auction, food, and entertainment, including Canadian singer Chantal Kreviazuk and numerous celebrity supporters. Guests will soon be announced.

Support CAMH's Redevelopment

Proceeds from Unmasked will support CAMH's redevelopment project. The redevelopment will see the transformation of the antiquated Queen Street West psychiatric institution into an inviting, contemporary urban village.

The CAMH Foundation is committed to erasing barriers, ending stigma and improving care for those with mental illness and addictions, bringing new pride to our clients and to our city.
