Childhood cancer changes lives. So does camp. And so can you.

On Saturday, October 17th, we are once again taking over the legendary Horseshoe Tavern for an incredible night of music, community, and purpose. We are coming together to celebrate the band and honour Gord Downie’s legacy by supporting two phenomenal causes: the Gord Downie & Chanie Wenjack Fund and cancer research.

The Gord Edgar Downie Festival (GEDFest) is the largest Canada-wide fundraiser for cancer research in Gord's memory. Marking its 9th year, GEDFest has rallied the nation to donate an astounding $732,000 to cancer charities since 2018. Let's keep that momentum going.

Gord Downie asked us to "do something," and together, we are.

 

A diagnosis of childhood cancer or serious illness changes life in an instant. For kids and families, it can suddenly feel like everything is about cancer. Simple childhood joys like friendships, birthday parties, or sports teams being left behind in the need for medical appointments, hospital stays, and long absences from school. Whether it’s in a hospital setting, in the community, online or at overnight camp, Campfire Circle fills the void, creating safe spaces for kids to be kids, so families can be families, at no cost to them. It’s where curiosity and confidence, bravery and acceptance come to play, and healing through happiness is on the agenda, every day, and in every way! Kids and families are never alone, because there’s always room for one more in the circle. Your support ensures that Campfire Circle's programs continue to reach 6,000+ kids and their families every year. Your gift will make life-changing experiences possible.
