Through the Charitable Gaming for Good initiative, DMRF Canada proudly participates in bingo fundraising events across Ontario. This vital program provides essential funds to support our mission — including groundbreaking dystonia research projects that aim to uncover improved treatments and, ultimately, a cure.
What Your Support Helps Fund
Funds raised through our bingo program are currently supporting Toronto-based support programming initiatives and our Clinical and Research Fellowship. These investments are advancing scientific understanding of dystonia while helping train the next generation of clinical experts.
A key component of Dr. Vogt’s fellowship includes her participation in the Pediatric-to-Adult Movement Disorders Transition Clinic at SickKids Hospital and Toronto Western Hospital, two of Canada’s leading centers for movement disorder care and research.

- Bingo Volunteer Wall of Fame
We are proud to recognize the dedication and generosity of our incredible bingo volunteers.
Stephen Rogow is one of the dedicated volunteers supporting DMRF Canada through the bingo fundraising program. Through his ongoing commitment, Stephen has helped raise over $50,000 for the Foundation — an incredible contribution to the dystonia community. Stephen describes the experience as both simple and meaningful. “I can honestly say it is one of the simplest and most rewarding ways to give back,” he says. For Stephen, volunteering is about more than fundraising. It’s also an opportunity to raise awareness about dystonia and the work of the Foundation. “As volunteers, we act as ambassadors for DMRF Canada,” he explains. “Even small conversations can help people learn about dystonia and the support that’s available.” Stephen also reassures potential volunteers that there is no pressure to have all the answers. “We’re not expected to know everything,” he says. “If a question comes up that we can’t answer, we simply connect the patron with a hall staff member who can help.” He also values the connections made along the way. “It’s a great way to connect with other dystonia volunteers, share stories, and be part of something bigger than yourself.” Stephen hopes others will consider getting involved. “Even small moments of helping can make a difference,” he says. “Your presence matters.”(Picture) 2nd - Coming Soon!
