The Women of Distinction Awards is YWCA Toronto's single-largest fundraising event, with proceeds going to help women and girls in need of housing, shelter, supportive services, employment and skills training, and more.  

The Awards honour women across industries and sectors that have demonstrated an iron-clad commitment to improving the lives of girls, women and marginalized groups - and have delivered remarkable results.
