On June 8th, 2018, the Yorktown Family Services Humanitarian Award for Community Service was presented to Kate and David Daniels in recognition of their many years of dedication to making a difference in the lives of others. Kate and David are guided by what they refer to as PSR, or Personal Social Responsibility, focussed on active participation in smaller non-profits that emphasize youth and the arts.
David is a Principal of real estate investor Daniels Capital Group, co-founder of Sustainable T.O Architecture + Building, and Principal of David Versus Goliath Productions. His stage, film, and TV projects have been nominated and/or won Gemini, Genie, Dramalogue, Dora Mavor Moore and American Video Awards.
Kate is a Principal of Daniels O’Hagan Stephenson Strategic Communications + Production. Select clients have included Disney, Hermes, Labatt, Moet et Chandon, Prada, Sony, Toronto Film Critics’ Association Awards, Warner Music Canada, Kim Cattrall, and Nelly Furtado. Producer credits include Sensitive Skin (HBO Canada), Spinal Cord Injury Ontario (Take Off Eh! The Second City, Bob & Doug McKenzie Live Reunion), and Black Apple.
The 2018 Tribute Dinner honouring Kate and David was a resounding success, raising over $235,000. As honourees, the Daniels helped elevate awareness of Yorktown inspiring the attention of numerous like-minded philanthropists. The collective show of support has enabled Yorktown to continue to offer innovative, evidence-based programs to children, youth, women and families in one of Ontario’s most under-resourced communities.
We would like to thank Kate and David for their continued investment in Yorktown and helping to bring positive change to Toronto’s communities, benefitting us all.
