Laughter that gives back. A legacy worth celebrating.
Join us for a one-time-only, exclusive philanthropic event— West Coast Roast: A Friendly Toast to Fred Lee—a night of comedy, community, and compassion.
For over 20 years, Fred Lee—known affectionately as Vanhattan’s “Man About Town”—has been the go-to voice for Vancouver’s most celebrated fundraisers. The West Coast Roast is an uplifting tribute to Fred’s remarkable legacy of giving back. Fred has championed countless causes, helping charities raise millions. Now, it’s our turn to shine the spotlight on someone who has spent his life shining it on others—and support a cause close to his heart.
This evening goes beyond laughter; it’s an investment in a pain-free future for thousands of kids.
More than 25,000 children in Canada live with arthritis, a painful chronic disease that steals moments of joy, limits mobility, and robs kids of their childhood.
Together, we’re helping ensure arthritis doesn’t steal childhood.

Helping children living with arthritis to thrive
To combat the complexities of childhood arthritis, Arthritis Society Canada has created transformative programs and resources that build confidence, foster connection, and improve quality of life—starting right here in Western Canada.
Funds raised from the West Coast Roast will power these life-changing programs—including accessible camps, specialized backpacks, and virtual support communities.
