Our story

Reliving the past. Creating hope for the future.

It all began in 2017 at the Knights of Columbus — the same hall where we danced and celebrated 30 years earlier. With my mom battling stage 4 cancer, we turned that reunion into a fundraiser for the Canadian Cancer Society. 330 of you showed up and together we raised over $16,000.

In 2018 we moved to another iconic 80s spot, the 707 Galaxy Club, and the party kept growing. Since then we’ve welcomed well over a thousand guests and raised more than $101,000 for families affected by cancer.

In 2025 we expanded our mission to include ALS research, in honour of my cousin John, diagnosed with ALS in 2022. Every ticket, donation and sponsorship brings us closer to a world without these diseases.
