This year, we raise our voices and funds in memory of Matthew Rona, a beloved friend lost to ALS in early 2024. Matthew's resilience, much like Gord Downie's, continues to inspire us. Our goal is to raise $10,000–$15,000 for the ALS Society of Canada through this celebration of music, memory, and community.

 

**What to Expect**

- A live Tragically Hip tribute band performance

- The exclusive live finale of *The Tragically Hip Top 40 Countdown*, revealing the top two songs

- A curated silent auction featuring unique items, art, and memorabilia

- Opportunities to connect with fellow fans and supporters of a vital cause

 

**Silent Auction**

Our silent auction will run entirely online from October 1st until 11:30 PM ET on October 4th. This means whether you're at the event in person or cheering from afar, you can participate and bid on fantastic items. High-quality donations and sponsorships fuel this key fundraiser, and we welcome contributions of prizes, services, or cash-in-lieu to purchase auction items.
