The third annual Arthritis Fire Ball Toronto on November 2, 2024, marked another incredible year of this transformational gala!
It was truly a party with a purpose, as 800 community leaders, friends and philanthropists united to raise $875,000 to end the agony of arthritis. These funds will enable us to provide essential programs and support groundbreaking research for the 1 in 4 women, 1 in 6 men and over 25,000 children living with this disease in Canada.
The atmosphere was electric, thanks to our incredible emcee, Michelle Dubé, exciting auctions, our inspiring testimonials, and incredible performances by multi-platinum vocal group and our ambassadors, The Tenors, Neon Nostalgic and Eddie and Quincy Bullen, not to mention, the energetic after party.
A heartfelt thank you to our generous sponsors and event partners for their commitment to bringing our vision to life. And, thank you to our guests and dedicated friends for empowering us to change the narrative around this misunderstood, debilitating disease.
