Join us this Friday, October 18, at The Old Mill Toronto for a showcase of top Olympic-style boxers from across Canada, all fighting to end cancer in our lifetime.
TORONTO, Thursday October 17, 2024 – This year’s lineup features FTEC Ambassador Davin Yu, who has raised $5,000, and FTEC Fighter Alumni Daniel Cellucci, now an open-class boxer who debuted at our 2014 gala. Also joining the roster is Idrissa Sanogo, who plays Lil’ Zay in The Fire Inside, a film about Claressa Shields that recently premiered at TIFF and is already gaining Oscar buzz.
Join us this Friday, October 18, at The Old Mill Toronto for an unforgettable evening, as these fighters take the ring to help us end cancer in our lifetime!
After more than a decade of hosting the Fight To End Cancer black-tie gala—raising nearly $3 million for The Princess Margaret Cancer Centre—we are excited to introduce Friday Night Fights, our newest event that expands our reach.
The spotlight, once reserved for corporate fighters, now highlights amateur boxers through this exciting series. Hosted by The Old Mill Toronto, the event will offer thrilling boxing matches in a classy but casual cocktail setting, with proceeds supporting cancer research. A special thanks to our presenting partners, Grafton Apparel and Landscape Plus LTD, whose generous support helps make our year-round initiatives, including this event, possible.
Friday Night Fights debuted in 2017 at the Gentlemen’s Expo and, due to its success, is returning to build momentum for the FTEC2025 Gala on May 31, 2025.
