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 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.

THANK YOU!
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.

Less judgment. Less stigma. More compassion. More love.

Thank you for showing up for this cause and helping us SHINE BRIGHTER TOGETHER.

With love & gratitude,
Pier & Mary
