It’s nice to be important, but it’s more important to be nice.
What happens when an evening of extraordinary entertainment, luxury experiences and high society comes together for a cause that could change thousands of lives? You get the Simba Ball.
Mark your calendar. On Friday, November 13, 2026, Toronto’s Harbour 60 will turn on the lights for an extraordinary evening where philanthropy meets sophistication and entertainment meets generosity.
But behind the elegant setting, sparkling conversations and gorgeous attractions lies a mission far more important than the festivities: educating, healing and transforming the lives of vulnerable women in Africa.
The Simba Ball, presented in support of DeckerMed Africa Trust’s Neglected Women’s Diseases™ initiative, promises to be one of Toronto’s most compelling charitable events of the year.
And there will be plenty to celebrate. The evening will bring together distinguished guests, philanthropists, business leaders and supporters for an unforgettable celebration.
Among the highlights is MPP Donna Skelly, who will be the evening’s featured speaker, bringing her voice and perspective to a cause that deserves far greater public attention.
Music lovers are also in for a treat. Acclaimed soprano Sara Pipini will bring her remarkable voice to the occasion, while the SOLO String Trio promises an elegant musical experience befitting the evening.
Expect an atmosphere where great music, meaningful conversations and the spirit of giving take centre stage.
The $5,000 Treasure Chest: Will You Hold The Winning Key?
Every great evening needs a little suspense!
One of the most exciting attractions will be the Simba Ball Treasure Chest, featuring a spectacular $5,000 prize.
Here’s the twist: you don’t need to spend a fortune to take your chance.
Keys are available for $100 each, or three for $250. The idea is simple: purchase a key, join the excitement and see whether yours unlocks the $5,000 treasure.
It’s an opportunity to add a little thrill to an evening that is already full of surprises, while supporting a mission that delivers something far more valuable than any prize.

Luxury, Fine Spirits And The Art Of Giving
If you enjoy the finer things in life, the Simba Ball has another attraction worth exploring.
The Luxury Goods Auction will feature an enticing collection of desirable items and experiences, including fine spirits, exclusive dinners, cigars, designer frames and more.
Whether you’re bidding on something special for yourself, looking for an exceptional gift or simply enjoying the excitement of the auction, there’s plenty to make the evening memorable.
And here’s what makes it even better: every bid can help advance a cause that changes lives.
The Mission Behind The Magic And Glamour
Of course, the real stars of the evening are the thousands of women whose lives stand to be transformed.
Through its Neglected Women’s Diseases™ initiative, DeckerMed Africa Trust supports free medical clinics and medical camps in Kenya, bringing essential healthcare to women in remote villages and underserved urban communities.
The organisation’s work reaches approximately 10,000 vulnerable women annually, providing life-changing interventions and compassionate care.
Its mission includes expanding cervical and breast cancer screening, strengthening digital diagnostic capabilities and extending its work to address female genital mutilation.
These are not simply healthcare statistics. They represent mothers, daughters, sisters and families whose futures can be changed through access to education, early detection, medical intervention and compassionate support.
For many women, access to these services can mean the difference between suffering in silence and receiving the care they desperately need.
That is the bigger story behind the Simba Ball.
