DONATEIn the Fall of 2023, Kingston College (“KC”) launched a “Never Yielding” centenary campaign to raise J$1 Billion to maintain and enhance the school’s rank as one of the
region’s preeminent secondary educational institutions.
As we march towards the 100th year of KC educating and developing youth into caliber young men and contributing citizens of Jamaica, and/or wherever life takes them after KC, we’ve set for ourselves, the Toronto Chapter, a goal of raising $100,000.00, to contribute towards one or more of the five (5) legacy projects the KC Centenary Steering Committee has identified being 1. Constructing an Auditorium at the North Street campus; 2. Completing Douglas Forrest Building; 3. Acquiring lands for planned campus expansions: 4. Solarization of both campuses; and 5. Constructing a Well at Melbourne campus.
As part of our fundraising initiatives for this significant milestone, we’re asking each Old Boy residing in Canada to make a contribution of $99.00 this year (2024) and $100.00 next year (2025) to bring us closer to our goal. We’ll also be asking those who can give a little more to do so, and, to that end, we’ll be launching a major donor campaign to seek out and obtain commitments from such persons – stay tuned.
In addition, as part of our 2025 celebrations, we’ll be enhancing our four (4) primary fundraising events, being, our Spring Dance, which will be a Boat Party next year, our Golf Tournament – we’re planning to make it an opportunity for novice and seasoned golfers a like to learn more about the game and, hence, encourage greater participation, our Fortis 5K Walk-A-Thon, which we’ll be expanding to invite other likeminded individuals/organizations to participate as well, and as the finale, our annual Gala, which will a strict purple tie affair.
Please help us achieve our goal by giving what you can and coming out to support our events. Thank you to the entire Fortis family for your kind support and generosity!
Fortis Now, Fortis Then, Fortis Forever

Kingston College has won “Champs” more than any other school in Jamaica. 1975 marked the end of the longest winning streak by any school in the history of “Champs” – fourteen consecutive years. In 1964, it was the first non-USA high school to participate and win an event at the prestigious world famous Penn Relays.

Combined with their academic achievements, the training that the cadets received has allowed them to develop leadership and public speaking skills which they are able to transfer to the corporate, military and political fields.

The emergence of COVID-19 has completely disrupted life as we knew it. Governments, businesses, institutions, organizations and individuals have had to make major adjustments to their once routine business practices and social activities. The traditional fundraising efforts that many institutions like Kingston College Old Boy’s Association have relied on over the years have been severely hampered.

KCOBA (Toronto) in partnership with Dent-A-Care Mobile Clinic is pleased to have established a dental care program at Kingston College. The initial phase covers the cost of treatment for a limited number of students plus 2 auxiliary workers. The hope is to expand this program to cover all the students who are in need. The program’s success will be dependent on the generous financial support of friends, past students and the wider community.
