This isn't just another concert; for Dr. Brown, it's deeply personal. His own mother, bless her heart, is navigating life with Alzheimer's, a journey that’s undeniably challenging for individuals and their families alike. You can really feel the weight of that connection, can't you?

You can grab yours right at the door, or if you prefer to plan ahead, they're also available through Eventbrite. It’s really quite simple to join in.

Every ticket purchased, every dollar donated, goes directly towards helping the Alzheimer Society of Calgary continue its invaluable work. They provide essential support, resources, and hope to individuals and families grappling with Alzheimer's and other dementias in our community.
