7th Annual Centennial Pride Fundraiser

Monday June 1, 2026, noon–2 p.m.

CCSAI Main Events Hall, Progress Campus or Virtually

Our 7th Annual Pride Fundraiser is taking place at the CCSAI Main Events Hall at Progress Campus. Join us for an afternoon of community, celebration, and support for 2SLGBTQ+ students, featuring live performances by Centennial alumna and fan favourite Dahlia Doll and the dazzling Paris Matik, two of Toronto’s most dynamic drag performers.

The event will also feature Conversations for Social Change: Pride Edition, where Centennial students will share their personal experiences and journeys, as well as a vibrant Community Partners Lounge featuring organizations from across Toronto offering resources, services, and supports for students.

Proceeds from donations will be applied toward the 2SLGBTQ+ Bursary. Developed to support 2SLGBTQ+ students attending post-secondary studies, the bursary is available to full-time and part-time students, international or domestic, with no academic restrictions to apply. Each semester, the total amount raised is equally disbursed across the Fall and Winter semesters in $500 bursaries. The more we raise, the more students we can help. To date, we’ve raised $228,000 and helped over 450 students.

Centennial community members can donate to the 2SLGBTQ+ Bursary all month long, and this year, the Centennial College Student Association Inc. (CCSAI) is matching funds raised up to $20,000.

Silent Auction

As part of Centennial’s 7th Annual Pride Fundraiser, our Silent Auction starts on Monday, May 25 and runs until Monday, June 1. This year marks Centennial’s largest auction collection to date, featuring more than $40,000 in donated items and experiences.

We are thrilled to invite you to follow and bid on our curated collection of items donated by local Indigenous and Queer artists, businesses, vendors, community partners, employees, families, alumni, departments, and divisions across the College. The auction features a wide array of items, including jewelry, fashion apparel, home décor, prize baskets, new and refurbished technology, unique experiences and services, tickets to live performances, gift certificates, and much more.

Items will also be displayed in person at the CCSAI Student Centre at Progress Campus during the June 1 Pride Fundraiser. To register for the Silent Auction from your smartphone, follow the steps in our Silent Auction Guide.
