Are you ready for round 2 at The Dakota Tavern?

We’re excited to announce that after the success of the inaugural 2023 Rockin’ Out and Knockin’ Out Cancer event, the team is gearing up for round 2 on Wednesday, May 22nd at The Dakota Tavern!

Following the incredible success of the 2023 fundraiser, the team is back and better than ever. With their supporters’ help, they raised over $2,500 for The Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation last year, and they’re aiming even higher this time. Attendees can look forward to an evening filled with excitement, including ticket sales, a Knockout Raffle featuring fantastic prizes by Labatt, and a pair of tickets to the highly-anticipated Friday Night Fights “To End Cancer”. Plus, don’t miss out on live entertainment once again from the talented Soda Blue Band along with the addition of The Swinging Pussycats, a four-piece surf, pop, and garage rock band from Toronto. Get ready to have your socks knocked off once again!

The featured performers of the evening will be Soda BlueandThe Swinging Pussycats, who graciously decided to donate their fees for the night to Jeff’s Fight To End Cancer.

A special note from our performers…

“We all know people who have struggled with or succumbed to Cancer.

My father was a cancer survivor for 20 years after his diagnosis of prostate cancer due to the great work of PMH.

I lost my first wife Dana to Pancreatic Cancer ultimately. However with the great work of PMH, other surgeons of the University Health Network, and her strength we were given an additional 22 months from the diagnosis.

That was a gift.”

~ Gordon Best, Soda Blue
