People having fun at the 2024 event

Get ready for laughter that will leave a legacy as impressive as our honouree’s. The East Coast Roast is back and bigger than ever with the one and only Mike Savage. After 12 incredible years as the Mayor of Halifax and decades of impact in our community, we’re ready to give him the recognition (and goodhearted roasting) he deserves!

Join us at the 31st East Coast Roast and be part of an iconic event in Atlantic Canada. Come for the laughs and silent auction and stay for the stories of strength and resilience. Together, we’ll be raising awareness and funds for arthritis research that has us one step closer to a cure, as well as programs like Camp JoinTogether that have enabled hundreds of children living with arthritis to attend summer camp.

Whether you’re eager to attend, looking for sponsorship opportunities, or want to volunteer, it’s sure to be an evening of elegance, comedy, and exciting networking opportunities.
