Well…that was one killer night! 🔥

Our concert turned into an absolutely epic evening of live music for a great cause. The crowd brought the energy, the bands brought the fire, the DJ kept the party going, and together we created a night we won’t forget anytime soon.

And since it happened to fall on Friday the 13th, we couldn’t resist having a little fun with the theme for all the Friday the 13th enthusiasts out there. We even had a "Jason" hanging around for some photo ops! A few Friday the 13th touches, a lot of laughs, some epic dance moves, and a whole lot of amazing music made it one unforgettable evening.

Thank you to everyone who came out, supported the cause, and made it a night to remember!!

We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Jaymie Waddick, one of our incredible sponsors from Waddick Fuels, for his outstanding generosity and support of the Music for the Mind Concert.

After winning the 50/50 draw, Jaymie made the remarkable decision to donate his winnings back to the cause — a powerful act of kindness that truly reflects the spirit of community and compassion at the heart of this event.

Moments like this remind us that when people come together with care, generosity, and a shared purpose, real and lasting impact is possible.

Thank you, Jaymie, for your continued support, and for standing with us in support of mental health in our community. Your kindness makes a difference.

🎉 WE DID IT, CHATHAM-KENT! 🎉

Because of this incredible community, the Music for the Mind Concert raised an amazing $12,695 for mental health services and resources right here in Chatham-Kent.

That number represents hope. It represents support. It represents lives being impacted in our community. And it would not have been possible without ALL of you.

To everyone who bought a ticket, shared a post, told a friend, and showed up ready to support this cause — THANK YOU. Your support is what helped make this incredible donation possible.

To the powerhouse bands who absolutely brought the house down — Love Muscle Band, Big Shiny Toons, and 89 NEXT — thank you for taking the stage and playing your hearts out for this cause. Your energy was electric and made the night unforgettable!

To the awesome DJ Shawn L who kept the vibe alive all night long — thank you for spinning the tunes and keeping the dance floor moving!

To our incredible sound engineer and production manager, Spenser Hamilton — thank you for the phenomenal job you consistently do to make these events run seamlessly.

To my amazing team of volunteers — you are the backbone of these events. Your time, passion, dedication, and belief in this cause never go unnoticed. I am endlessly grateful for each of you.

And to our fantastic emcee, Sonny Borrelli — thank you for sharing your time, talent, and heart to guide us through such a powerful evening.

This is what community looks like. This is what happens when we come together for something bigger than ourselves — and this night proved just how strong and compassionate our community truly is.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for standing with us. Thank you for showing up. Thank you for helping us turn music into meaningful change. 💚

🚨 🕑 TIME-SENSITIVE ANNOUNCEMENT 🕑🚨

After seven incredible years of pouring my heart and soul into Music for the Mind, I’ve had to make the very difficult decision to place the fundraiser on hiatus at the end of this fundraising year in August.

Following a recent diagnosis of burnout, I’ve been strongly encouraged to step back and focus on my own mental health and well-being. This has been one of the hardest decisions I’ve ever had to make, because Music for the Mind is so deeply a part of who I am and what I love.

I will continue fundraising and hosting the events I can until August — and with this pause ahead, Friday, February 13th will be the final Music for the Mind Concert for the foreseeable future.

So come out and help us send this last concert off with a bang! You won’t want to miss what is going to be an absolutely epic night of music, fun, connection, and celebration as we honour seven amazing years together.
