From the heartfelt stories to the shared laughter and inspiration
the energy in the room was unforgettable.
On October 16th, we gathered at the Horticulture Building, Lansdowne Park for the Youth Services Bureau‘s, 3rd Annual, RISE & THRIVE Fundraising Breakfast hosted by the YSB Foundation and presented by the Senators Community Foundation. Together, we celebrated stories of resilience, compassion, and community — and raised vital funds for YSB youth mental health programs across Ottawa.
This year, Dex moved us all with their courageous story of hope and healing — a reminder of why your support matters. Thanks to you, we’ve raised $315,000 of our $350,000 goal to ensure that young people have access to caring, professional mental health support when they need it most.
THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS
