MUSIC FOR THE MIGHTY Get ready to groove once again at the second annual Music for the Mighty fundraiser. Join us at Revelry Food+Music Hub for a night filled with incredible tunes and good vibes. This in-person event will feature Gun Shy and talented musicians from various genres that will be night to remember as we join in community to raise funds for the BC Children's Hospital Foudnation. Music for the Mighty is more than a night of music, it’s an Okanagan fundraiser that brings our community together to support families from next door and across the region who rely on BC Children’s Hospital Foundation. When a child is seriously ill, parents are often forced to travel hours to Vancouver just to get them the care they need. The Social Work Fund steps in when costs start to pile up, covering things like travel, meals, counselling, and other essentials many families can’t afford on their own. This event is about showing up for those families - our neighbours, friends, coworkers - and making sure no child goes without care because of distance or dollars. Live Music Lineup ● Gun Shy is back - featuring: ~David Pfuetzner & Jordan Hansum (Align West Homes) ~Grant Petkau (Kelbrook Construction) ~Jarrett Boyetchko (Ace Project Marketing Group) More artists to be announced soon! What’s Included ● A welcome drink on arrival ● Delicious appies ● A night of live music and community connection ● A chance to directly support families in our region facing a medical crisis Family Should Never Face A Crisis Alone Every year, over 4,800 families from the Okanagan head to BC Children’s Hospital for specialized care they can’t get here. Last year, we raised over $58,000. This year, our goal is $75,000, and your ticket purchase helps us get there. Whether you're from Kelowna, Vernon, Penticton, or anywhere in between, this event is about our community standing up for our families. This is about C ommunity, Connection, Compassion. This is Music for the Mighty. Let’s pack Revelry, raise a glass, and make a real difference together. Can’t make it?

The Pushor Mitchell LLP West Coast Brain Injury Conference (WCBIC) 2025 will bring together thought leaders, advocates, and professionals from across North America. In line with this year’s theme, “Beyond Injury: Brain Injury as a Human Rights Issue,” we will explore how brain injury intersects with fundamental human rights, including access to healthcare, justice, housing, and social inclusion. Through engaging discussions, we’ll examine the systemic barriers faced by individuals with brain injuries and highlight the role of human system dynamics in creating more equitable outcomes. Together, we’ll explore how cross-sector collaboration and rights-based approaches can reduce harm and improve quality of life for those affected. By attending or sponsoring, you are helping shift the conversation — recognizing that brain injury is not just a health issue, it is a human rights issue. Your participation supports our mission to expose and address the systemic neglect faced by individuals with brain injuries, especially those impacted by poverty, incarceration, homelessness, and violence. Together, we can build a stronger, more equitable community where every person has the right to safety, healthcare, housing, dignity, and justice. Information Source: BrainTrust Canada | eventbrite
