Elton John AIDS Foundation Chairman David Furnish will serve as Grand Marshall for the Pride Toronto Parade on Sunday, June 28, 2015.

As a native son of Toronto, David is very proud to lead the parade for the largest Pride celebration in North America. It reflects his deep commitment to supporting the human rights of LGBT people everywhere and ending homophobia, one of the principal drivers of the global HIV/AIDS epidemic.

David will also be the guest of honor at a private reception hosted by Salah Bachir, President of Cineplex Media, Canadian philanthropist, founding member of the Canadian Foundation for AIDS Research (CANFAR) and past Pride Toronto Grand Marshall.

The reception will benefit Pride Toronto and EJAF. For more information on purchasing tickets and attending the reception, please contact Andreas Schwarz at andreas.schwarz@ejaf.org or 212.291.0670.
