Cover Me Urban is hosted by TSN’s Cabral “Cabbie” Richards and presented by Hudbay Minerals. The 6th annual street-inspired Cover Me Urban fundraiser celebrates the sights, sounds and flavours of Toronto as the city’s diverse neighbourhoods come to life under one roof.

Through an evening of incredible food, drink, live music and entertainment experiences, the event aims to raise over $100,000. All in support of the Life Skills, Employment, Housing and After-Care programs at Youth Without Shelter (YWS). It’s an empowering house of support serving more than 1,000 homeless youth in the GTA every year.

About Youth Without Shelter:

Youth Without Shelter (YWS) is the singular emergency residence and referral agency in Etobicoke serving and supporting homeless youth ages 16 to 24 for three decades.

It includes counselling, effective life skills programs, employment guidance. Plus, placement in affordable housing and support for continued education.
