Fire Ball 2026

The 5th annual Arthritis Fire Ball™ Toronto, held on November 7, 2026, was an unforgettable night filled with purpose, connection, and momentum.

It was truly a party with a purpose — bringing together community leaders, changemakers, and philanthropists united in a shared mission to create a pain-free future for more than 6 million Canadians living with arthritis.

Arthritis doesn’t just cause pain; it takes away mobility, independence, quality of life. But at Fire Ball, hope took center stage.

The atmosphere was electric — from our incredible emcee, Hazel Mae, to our fantastic Auctionista, Layne, the powerful performances by The Tenors, William, Emily & Jenna’s moving stories, and the high-energy after-party with Eddie and Quincy Bullen.

A heartfelt thank you to our generous sponsors, event partners, committee members, volunteers, and guests who made the night so meaningful, and who helped raise over $644,000!

Together, we’re revolutionizing arthritis care, uncovering life-changing solutions, and building a stronger future for all.
