We live in a world where we often forget the simplicity of not only celebrating life but preserving it. ONEXONE began with a simple dream to honour one life and blossomed into an extraordinary and passionate movement to help so many more. Joelle Adler founded ONEXONE to celebrate the life and times of her spiritual force, her late husband Lou Adler. She never dreamt that ONEXONE would become a global force with a mission to help preserve a quality of life for children locally and globally; every child's birthright . ONEXONE took its place on the global fundraising stage in 2005 when actress Kate Hudson hosted an elegant gala that had audience dazzled by guests including Bono, and sensational performances including Raine Maida and Chantal Kreviazuk and The African Children's Choir. That evening the stage was set for a year long annual campaign that not only honours extraordinary people that have made a difference but also a celebration of many many vital philanthropic partners who need our help to reach children in need every where. One x One raised over $1.5 million in one night. In 2006, millions of people around the world took notice as One X One and its extraordinary gala host Matt Damon welcomed extraodinary guests like Brad Pitt and Penelope Cruz and performers like John Legend, Wyclef Jean, and welcomed back Chantal Kreviazuk and The African Childrens's Choir and rocking after gala concert. We also honoured 5 more incredible people with the One X One Difference Award. We proudly raised over $3.5 million that night. We are deeply grateful to media sponsors like CTV, The Globe and Mail and Rogers for taking our message everywhere.

In 2007, our campaign continues with new initiatives, new philantropic partners and our continuing support of our key charities.

As a non-profit foundation, we endeavour to celebrate and preserve the value of LIFE. The dream and vision of a small group of people has resonated on a large scale.
