Our community family, the Laidlaw’s, have a son Jack who was diagnosed with SPG4, a disease that is slowly paralyzing him. Jack dreams of being an astronaut and the first person to walk on Mars. The family will do anything to save their son so he can reach for the stars!

What guests can expect from the Gala: Canada’s first astronaut, Marc Garneau, will be the special guest speaker, and the Canadian Space Society’s president, Ryan Anderson, will be bringing a Canadian Space exhibit for guests to enjoy. A local Stittsville musician, Tyler Kealey, will be the musical guest, Stuntman Stu will be the live auctioneer, and Derick Fage will be the Emcee. Brookstreet Hotel will be providing a delicious 3-course dinner, a large silent auction, and a DJ and dancing for the rest of the night! Tickets can be purchased at the link below.

All proceeds of this fundraiser will go towards supporting research for the SPG4 cure. Please save the date!
