Laura Ghany Daubney

Your first year performing at our event was beyond amazing! You had us up and dancing with those incredible disco vibes and energy. 💜💫

We’re so grateful to each and every one of you for believing in us, supporting our cause and helping us raise awareness for mental health. 💜

Having you on our stage was an honour. You guys absolutely killed it! We hope this is the first of many more together. 💜

THANK YOU! 💜💜
Domenic Nesci-Music

For the second year in a row, you showed up for us with your support, incredible talent and genuinely humble soul.
Having you on our stage sharing your own music is something we are so grateful for. Your songs are honest, relatable and real, and through your talent you help us raise awareness for Mental Health and remind people that they are not alone.
Your continued support for this cause never goes unnoticed. Every time you lend your voice and music to what we do, you help us reach someone, and that means more than you know.
Beyond your talent, we are grateful for you; your kindness, humility and the way you continue to show up and root for this cause.
You are part of our Bonfire family, and we love and appreciate you for the amazing human you are.

Thank you for believing in our cause and using your voice to help us make a difference.

THANK YOU 💜💫 BACK ALLEY RINGERS BLUES BAND

23 years later, and there you were back on our stage again!
You were there for our very first fundraiser in 2003. Since then, we've had the privilege of watching you grow as a group, while you've watched us grow our efforts and our passion for raising awareness and support for various causes dear to us.
There's something so special about looking back and realizing that after all these years, you're still here, still supporting us, and still believing in what we're trying to do.
Your friendship, your time, your music, and every time you've shown up for us over the years have meant more than we can put into words.
Thank you for being part of where we started and for still being part of our story 23 years later. We'll never take that kind of love and support for granted.

… 23 years of memories, music, friendship and growth, still shining brighter together! 💜💫

THANK YOU!
RUDE E BONES FAN CLUB 💜💫

There really aren’t enough words to express how grateful we are for you.

Year after year, you show up for us. You give us your time, your energy, your talent and, most importantly, your heart. We never take any of it for granted.

Watching you perform “Don’t Stop Believin’” our anthem, always hits differently. That song has followed us through so many years, so many memories, so many highs and lows. Hearing you sing it reminds us exactly why we keep going: never stop believing.

But our gratitude goes so much deeper than the music.

You have stood beside us, supported what we believe in, and continued to give your love to something that means so much to us personally. Knowing that we can count on you year after year means more than you probably realize.

Somewhere along the way, a friendship that started many years ago became family, and that’s exactly what you are to us.

Thank you for the memories, the laughs, the music, the loyalty, and for continuing to walk this journey beside us.

We love you guys. Truly. And we are forever grateful to have you as part of our family.

Thank you for another amazing performance!
We are so grateful for your continued support for the second year, in support a cause that means so much to us: supporting mental health and reminding people that no one should ever have to struggle alone.
Thank you for sharing your incredible talent, your energy, and your amazing voice that somehow makes us all travel to Italy in spirit while dancing, singing, and forgetting our worries for a little while.
Thank you for sharing your heart with us and for helping us continue to raise awareness and support mental health services in our community.

END OF SUMMER BONFIRE
BASH 2026

There are some moments that stay with you and looking around Saturday night and seeing so many people gathered together in support of mental health was one of them. 💜

What began as an idea became something so much bigger: a night of connection, community, love and purpose. To every person who showed up and helped make it what it was, we hope you know how deeply grateful we are.

A huge thank you to our incredible performers:

To our amazing volunteers Monica Dva Moe, Jules Julie Jules Abbruzzese, John, Joe Joe Malfara, Lisa, Gina & Jack, and everyone who jumped in behind the grills, throughout the event space and wherever help was needed, we could not have done this without you. 💜

To our sponsors and vendors, thank you for your generosity and for believing in what we were trying to accomplish.

And to EVERYONE who attended, donated, bought raffle tickets, shared our event and supported this cause, thank you for showing up.

This was more than a bonfire. It was a reminder of what can happen when a community comes together for something that matters.

💜 OUR FUNDRAISING ISN’T OVER YET!

If you weren’t able to attend, or would still like to contribute our donation page remains open. Every donation, big or small, helps support Mackenzie Health Foundation – Mental Health Services.
