Welcome to our 4th annual Mother’s Day fundraiser, Hats Off to Mom! This year, moms have been working extra hard to keep their families and communities safe. On Mother’s Day, let’s show our appreciation for everything they do! All proceeds raised will support the women and children at Women’s Crisis Services of Waterloo Region.

Join us for a fun and unique experience this Mother’s Day. We’re so excited to treat your moms, while helping our moms!

We encourage you to put on your best hat, take a photo, and share it on social media! Tag us @WomensCrisisSWR and make sure to use the hashtag #HatsOff2021, then tell us something you love about your mom.
