Last year we joined forces with several local partners to help present Sing Out for CHEO. This amazing event has featured incredible performances by artists like the River Town Saints, Sandi Skye and, of course, event founder, Danny Sylvestre. We are now happy to announce that the next Sing Out for CHEO event will take place on February 22 at the Lone Star Loft in Ottawa.

This coming February, Danny Sylvestre is giving back to CHEO in the greatest way that he can – by performing. As CHEO Ambassador for this event, Danny, and his friends, will be combining their talents as singer/songwriters and entertainers to raise funds for this worthwhile cause.

The evening will feature live performances from Danny Sylvestre and the Rainwater Whisky Band, as well as an undiscovered artist competition and a silent auction.

After our last event we sat down and listened to the feedback from our supporters. We heard loud and clear that you wanted a smaller, more intimate, venue and lower ticket prices so we’re thrilled that for our 2019 event tickets are only $10 per person!

Tickets are available NOW on our website at www.singoutforcheo.ca and all profits will be donated to the CHEO Foundation.
