Twestival Home

With your amazing work, generosity and support, our community raised a total of $20,435.00 for Concern Worldwide!

We did it. Tweet by tweet, ticket by ticket, we came together in a remarkable way that only Toronto can to reach our ambitious fundraising goals for an even more remarkable cause. Our efforts mean that 265 children will receive the gift of education. Their lives will change forever because of your help.

We also succeeded in raising local awareness of the global efforts to bring help to the world’s poorest people through schools, teachers, and quality education. With nearly 600 attendees at Tryst Toronto, it was an amazing demonstration of how we can rally together offline using social media for social good. Oh, and it was a pretty amazing party too :).

Join us in thanking the great people from all ends of the city that made the event possible.
