ABOUT CANADA PHILIPPINE FASHION WEEK
Canada Philippine Fashion Week (CPFW)) is a non-profit organization aimed at showcasing fashion, culture, creativity and artistry of Filipinos in Canada and the Philippines. It also aims to enhance public awareness, image, and the rise of Filipino fashion on the world stage, and to open up the fashion trade between both countries.

ABOUT KOL HOPE FOUNDATION FOR CHILDREN
Kol Hope Foundation for Children (http://kolhope.com) is a Canadian charitable organization that helps and supports children with disabilities in the Philippines and Canada and around the world. The foundation is named after Kol, a Filipino-Canadian boy, who was born with Trisomy 13, a fatal genetic syndrome. Kol was diagnosed to live only 3 months, but against all odds, he lived for 14 years. He was fed by g-tube, required
life support, 24 hour nursing care, and was unable to walk or talk. He passed away on October 9th, 2011, and has left behind an incredible legacy of love, courage and hope. He is the story and inspiration behind Kol Hope Foundation for Children. In Canada, Kol Hope Fund at Sick Kids supports the genetic department and the work they do in unraveling the mysteries of genetic disorders and ultimately in finding effective
treatment. In fact, Kol Hope has helped fund the Sick Kids Genetics  Clinic, which provides children with the best care. Kol Hope Fund at Easter Seals provides children with the most basic needs like wheelchairs and respite care, plus it also gives kids the opportunity to go and enjoy summer camps. In 2013, Kol Hope Fund @ World Vision was established, allowing the foundation to spread Kol’s mission of charity, love and hope to children around the world.
