Giving in Style
In celebration of International Women’s Day, we were honoured
to be recipients of support from many individual, community,
and corporate donors.

Andrews, a luxury womenswear
retailer with five locations
across Toronto, donated $7,100
from sales on March 7 and
8 to the Canadian Women's
Foundation in celebration of
International Women's Day.
For the fourth year in a row, Giant Tiger Stores Limited
raised funds for the Canadian Women’s Foundation through
the sale of an exclusive shirt in celebration of International
Women’s Day. 100% of profits raised from the shirt are
donated to the Foundation.
As part of the campaign,
Andrews sat down with
Foundation President and CEO
Mitzie Hunter to learn more
about her personal journey and
the organization's work.
This year’s beautifully-designed shirt was created in
collaboration with the SPAO Photographic Arts Centre,
featuring original artwork by Ottawa-based visual artist Linh
VH Nguyen. Linh is a queer, Vietnamese Canadian artist
selected as part of Giant Tiger’s annual commitment to
spotlight a new Canadian artist.
Thank you to everyone
who purchased a shirt
during the campaign.
Thank you Giant Tiger
for raising $20,000 this
year, for a total of over
$120,000 of support
from this annual
International Women’s
Day campaign!
