Temerty Medicine is proud to join the broader University of Toronto community in the fourth annual U of T Giving Day. From March 1st to March 26th, join us as we celebrate the power of philanthropy at Temerty Medicine and offer our collective thanks to the many donors whose philanthropic support underpins every aspect of our work.
This U of T Giving Day we're recognizing Temerty Medicine’s oversized impact on health and health care, and how the difference we make is enhanced even further by our ability to bring together diverse ideas, talent, experiences and perspectives.
Learn more about Temerty Medicine's Giving Day Ambassador Julianah Oguntala (MD ’24) and the impact donor support has had on her educational journey.
U of T Giving Day is the perfect time to support Temerty Medicine with a donation.
While contributions to any Temerty Medicine research or education initiative will be celebrated, Giving Day has also unlocked an exciting matching opportunity. New donations made between March 1st and March 26th (inclusive) to Temerty Medicine's Dean's Priority Fund, will be matched dollar-for-dollar (while matching funds last). All donations will generate a receipt for Canadian tax purposes.
The Dean's Priority Fund supports areas of highest need, helping Temerty Medicine advance health research and education for all learners and faculty members.
Draws will be held on Monday mornings from March 9th to March 30th; to be eligible for a given draw, donations must be received by 11:59 p.m. on the preceding Sunday(s), with the exception of the final draw, for which donations must be received by 11:59 p.m. on Thursday, March 26. Each eligible donor will be entered into every subsequent weekly draw following their donation date, through the end of the campaign. Donors may win only once and will be removed from remaining draws after being selected. Winners will be notified via email and announced in MedEmail.
Temerty Medicine will start counting down to Giving Day with two drop-in kickoff celebrations on Thursday, March 5th:
Both celebrations, which are organized by Temerty Medicine’s Office of Advancement, will be a great opportunity to connect with colleagues and learners while enjoying fun activities (including a photobooth at MSB, and cookies and buttons at both locations!)
U of T Bookstore Giving Day Pop Up in Support of the Dean's Priority Fund
U of T Bookstore staff will be on site at MSB on Giving Day with a wide variety of Temerty Medicine-branded merchandise for sale. Five per cent of all proceeds from sales of Temerty Medicine swag made between March 1st and March 26th – either at our in-person MSB Giving Day event, the Bookstore's St. George Campus location or online – will be donated to the Dean's Priority Fund.
This year's Giving Day celebrations will also feature special Appreciation Stations (also available online, see form below) where community members can share a brief message of thanks to Temerty Medicine donors and/or a reflection about the impact philanthropy has on their work or learning experience.
All those who share a note of appreciation at our in-person kickoff celebrations or via our online form (see below) will be entered into a weekly draw to win Temerty Medicine merchandise.
Draws will be held on Monday mornings from March 9th to March 30th; to be eligible for a given draw, submissions must be received by 11:59 p.m. on the preceding Sunday(s), with the exception of the final draw, for which submissions must be received by 11:59 p.m. on Thursday, March 26. Each eligible entrant will be entered into every subsequent weekly draw following their submission date, through the end of the campaign. Entrants may win only once and will be removed from remaining draws after being selected. Winners will be notified via email and announced in MedEmail.
