On Thursday, Dec. 5, join us for an evening of giving at Sacred Heart High School auditorium in Stittsville. This free event will bring the community together for a memorable evening of music, comedy and kindness, all in support of the Ottawa Food Bank.
CBC Radio personalities Hallie Cotnam and Alan Neal will host the event with an exciting lineup of musicians and other CBC personalities joining them for an unforgettable night helping our neighbours in need.
Featured artists include:
- OrKidstra: an Ottawa-based social development program empowering kids and building community through the universal language of music. They will bring an eight-piece ensemble to light up the stage.
- Alicia Kayley: a local singer who’s trained in opera, but can bring the house down with her blues-pop sound. She’s fresh off of recording her debut album with Crystal Shawanda in Nashville releasing in 2025.
- Banggz: an innovative force in music boldly fusing Afrobeats and hip-hop to pioneer his unique sound. His music pushes for the creation of a community where no one is left behind.
Comedians Janelle Niles and Hart Shouldice will bring their humour and heart to the evening with special appearances by CBC Radio personalities Amanda Pfeffer, host of Ontario Today and Giacomo Panico, host of In Town and Out.
Doors open at 6:30 p.m., show starts at 7 p.m.
Admission is free, but if you can, please make a donation to the food bank. The Ottawa Food Bank will be on-site accepting non-perishable food items, cash and electronic donations.
