Our New Charity Status!
March 15th of 2021 was a big day for Beat Street Toronto. We officially became a charity with the CRA. This marks the resolution of a two-year campaign that started with the loss of our partnership with Wrestling Canada and began as a result our inability to clear donated funds. This is often a huge challenge for nonprofits to overcome. We are elated, we now have the ability to process donations and give tax receipts to our donors.
