NOFCC Gold Soirée 2026

September 26 @ 6:00 pm

Going Gold for Northern Ontario families

Join Northern Ontario Families of Children with Cancer for the 7th Annual NOFCC Gold Soirée, an elegant evening of community, entertainment, and purpose in honour of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.

On Saturday, September 26, 2026, NOFCC will gather at the United Steelworkers Hall and Conference Centre in Greater Sudbury for a gold-inspired celebration in support of families across Northern Ontario. With only 300 tickets available, this signature event brings together community leaders, businesses, sponsors, volunteers, and compassionate supporters who believe no Northern Ontario family should face childhood cancer alone.

NOFCC serves families across Ontario’s vast “P” postal code region. When a child is diagnosed with cancer, families often travel hundreds of kilometres for treatment, creating emotional, financial, and practical challenges. Funds raised through the Gold Soirée help NOFCC provide support for travel, accommodations, groceries, essential household expenses, and emotional care so families can focus on their child’s treatment and well-being.

What to expect

Guests will enjoy a luxurious evening featuring a sit-down supper, live entertainment, special guests, auctions, raffles, and meaningful opportunities to support NOFCC families.

  • Joe Bowen, the legendary voice of the Toronto Maple Leafs, as emcee
  • Live entertainment from Saving Grace: Celebrating Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
  • Harp guitarist Jamie Dupuis & Emma McDaniels
