This year, Betty’s East proudly joins the 2025 Fight To End Cancer Charity Gala as a community sponsor, showing their support in a grassroots yet powerful way.
A beloved spot in Toronto’s vibrant east end, Betty’s East is more than just your local pub—it’s a community hub where stories are shared, friendships are made, and now, where a fight is being fueled.
Known for its welcoming atmosphere, hearty food, and excellent tap list, Betty’s East has long been a go-to for good times and even better company. But beneath the casual charm and laughter-filled lounge is a team of people who care deeply about the causes that touch their guests, staff, and families.
From Pints to Purpose: Betty’s East Rallies the Community for a Cause
In support of FTEC 2025, Betty’s East is putting their community spirit into action by promoting the campaign in-house, encouraging conversation and awareness, and supporting one of this year’s fighters directly. A proud FTEC 2025 participant is not only training for fight night but also selling tickets right out of the Betty’s East lounge, rallying regulars and newcomers alike to stand behind the cause.
And that’s exactly what they’re doing—bringing people together, pint by pint, ticket by ticket, with purpose and pride. Their involvement is a reminder that support can come from every corner of our city—even the cozy corners of our favourite pub.
A Cause Close to Home. In their words:
“Cancer has touched us all in one way or another. We all need to come together to fight this horrible disease.”
– Tom Wilson
We’re honoured to welcome Betty’s East to the FTEC sponsorship family, and we thank them for turning their lounge into a place of not just community, but compassion, action, and hope.
