THE RITZ CARLTON
The University of the West Indies Toronto Benefit Awards is an extraordinary event on the Toronto social calendar that brings together up to 450 corporate, public, and individual supporters for an inspiring evening of giving, sharing and celebrating.
Under the theme Unlocking Brilliance, the event supports a Scholarship Fund for outstanding academic achievers in the Caribbean, who lack the funds necessary to realize their fullest potential. The event also recognizes honoured guests who through their tireless work and accomplishments continue to shine a light of hope for the next generation.
The UWI Toronto Benefit Awards 2026 offers opportunities to promote your organization/company across a number of platforms, including the UWI Awards website, advertisement in a programme guide, social media and on-screen display during the event.
On behalf of The University of the West Indies, and in particular the students, thank you for your consideration!
