Another fantastic CanJam for Kids with Cancer is in the books! It was a beautiful day as the Knight’s Hall field filled with new, classic, and antique cars and trucks for the show. Live music kicked off at 1 pm, with a heartfelt thank you to all the local bands who donated their time to support our kids.

Vendors offered a diverse selection of products, and the auction buzzed with activity, thanks to the generous donations from many local businesses.

CanJam had the honour of presenting the Sandra Allen Memorial Education Awards to three outstanding students—Lilly Coulter, Melanie Austin, and Ashlyn Smith.

The awards were presented by Lindsay Allen and Rhiannon Allen-Parker in memory of Sandra, past Chair of Help A Child Smile. A huge thank you to our incredible volunteers—you did an amazing job, and we appreciate every one of you! And to our sponsors, the public, the Knights, the bartenders, the bands, our advertisers, and everyone who contributed to CanJam—thank you for helping us raise over $25,000 for HACS!
