In 1996 the PRA founded an annual 5K fundraising run/walk coinciding with Pride Week called the Pride and Remembrance Run. The original Pride and Remembrance Run was dedicated to partnering the themes of pride and remembrance with community celebration and personal achievement. By working closely with our sponsors, community groups and organizations, the Pride and Remembrance Run has raised approximately $400,000 for charitable organizations. The Pride and Remembrance Run has grown in popularity and profile every year. Now in its 12th year, it has become one of the most anticipated and exciting events of Pride Week. This premiere athletic event and communtiy fundraiser is the largest event of its kind in Canada, and among the most popular running events of the entire Greater Toronto Area.
