THANK YOU FOR STEPPING UP!

September 24th, 2023, we held our first ever fundraising walk: 
Step Up! & walk to save Birth Mark. 
Thanks to our amazing community of doulas, partners, sponsors, donors and clients we were able to raise over $14,000 at the close of the campaign. 
At Birth Mark we are overwhelmed by the success of the event and the support of all of you!

Shout out to our event sponsors!

This is the beginning, not the end
$14,000 is an amazing start, but of course it is not enough to keep our charity running. Donations are always welcomed and needed. 
 
Please stay tuned over the coming months as we take part in various fundraising events, campaigns and conventions. Look for us on socials, watch for contests, and come see us in the community. 
 
Most of all, spread the word. If you believe in the work Birth Mark does, we need your help letting people know about us. We are nothing without our community.
 

We are looking for major funders. If you have a connection or lead, please reach out to us. All conversations and ideas are welcome.

Birth Mark acknowledges that we operate on the traditional territory of many nations including the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee and Wendat peoples. We acknowledge these nations and any others who care for the land; acknowledged and unacknowledged, recorded and unrecorded, as the past, present and future caretakers of this land. We seek to live in respect, peace and right relations with them as we live and work upon their traditional territory. At Birth Mark, we make a collective commitment to keep truth and reconciliation real in our communities and in particular to bring justice for murdered and missing Indigenous women and girls across the country.
