Get ready for an unforgettable evening as we launch the first annual Knock Out Childhood cancer, a fundraiser that brings courage, compassion, and community to the ring.
In 2026, 16 brave individuals will step into the boxing ring for the very first time—after months of intensive training—all to raise awareness and critical funds for children with cancer. These everyday heroes will go glove-to-glove in a powerful showcase of strength, heart, and purpose.
The evening begins with a guest speaker, and then the golden spotlight shines on local childhood cancer families who show us all the definition of true strength and courage. Enjoy a three-course dinner, local spirits, and watch the showcase amateur boxing match.
To cap off the night, we’ll celebrate East Coast–style with a lively Kitchen Party—featuring music, dancing, and the chance to toast to a great cause with friends old and new.
All proceeds from Knock Out Childhood Cancer will support the Kindred Foundation’s Housing Support Program, which helps keep families in their homes during their child’s cancer treatment. Every dollar raised stays right here in Eastern Canada, supporting families across the Maritimes.
Join us in May 2026 and be part of something powerful. Witness everyday people become fighters—and help knock out childhood cancer, one round at a time.
Knock Out Childhood cancer will be recorded and photographed. By attending this event, you grant permission for your image and voice to be recorded and used in photographs, videos, and other media for promotional, marketing, and educational purposes by the event organizers.
