Join us as we celebrate two years of BREATHE Midwives!
On Sunday, August 23, we will be hosting the BREATHE Midwives Community Block Party. An afternoon of food, music, family-friendly activities, raffles, prizes, and community as we celebrate two years of advancing Black sexual, reproductive, maternal, and infant health.
This isn't just a celebration; it's our first community fundraiser. The celebration recognizes the diverse community of Toronto but also emphasizes the importance of community health and support available for the Black Community. As we showcase a selection of community resources, we also shine a spotlight on the critical issue of Black sexual, reproductive, birthing and infant health.
With an anticipated turnout of over 200 community members, this FREE event serves as a gathering place where families and all community members can enjoy each other while receiving valuable resources and support for healthy living.
