TOMORROW!✨ FREE Wellness Workshop | Moving Forward Through Self-Doubt ✨

Your community needs you now more than ever!!

Theres still time left to give to colleagues in need of support this year.

Please give generously at the link in bio!

A MASSIVE THANK YOU to our partners at Ad Club of Toronto who have just donated another $16,000 to help us close the gap on our Give-a-Thon fundraiser!! Ad Club of Toronto are our largest single fundraisers annually, and a big part of the reason that we’re able to support the industry community.

WE STILL NEED YOUR HELP... We have $70,000 more to raise before the end of the year so that we don’t have any loss of services for 2026, particularly when the need is so great.

PLEASE GIVE TODAY AT THE LINK IN BIO!

CALLING ALL CANADIAN AD/MEDIA FOLKS… On Thursday November 20TH join us in supporting your industry charity with the NABS GIVE-A-THON!!

The ask is simple; We need everyone to donate just $20 to the cause, with the goal of raising $20,000!!

For the price of a few coffees, you can help provide:
• Funding for 80 people to receive one-hour of career coaching/workshops
• Funding for up to 60 people to receive curated, not-for-profit, and regionally specific Wellness Resources.
• Funding for 6 colleagues/families to receive emergency short-term financial aid for a month (due to unforeseen circumstance such as a prolonged layoff, sudden change in health or family situation etc.)

NABS has supported over 60,000 Canadian Advertising and Media folks since 1983, let’s continue with that tradition of care, and smash this goal!!

MEET ATLAS!

We’re excited to introduce the amazing people who have signed up as NABS-BEC Champions in 2025-just like Atlas.

Not only will this group have lots of info on how the charity supports those in the industry, but they are also fundraising for the cause, with special discounts on merch, fun events and more. If you see or hear from Atlas, please give her a big thank you for her support.

Join us and our friends at GroundFloor on Wednesday Sept. 17th at the beloved Pilot in Toronto, for a FUNdraiser in support of NABS.  Although the theme is “In Memoriam” to celebrate alllllll of the agencies that we’ve loved and/or lost over the years, the vibes will be anything but sad.

Tickets are $20 in advance and $30 at the door, with all proceeds going to NABS. See you there!! Link in our stories!

From Career Workshops to Short-Term Financial Aid to Wellness resources, well over half of those using NABS support services this year are female-identifying.
