Past Events

Karaoke for a Cause


Citadel Community Association Hall, Calgary

Music, laughter, community spirit, and a little pageant glamour came together for HeARTS' Karaoke for a Cause fundraiser!

The evening featured karaoke, a silent auction, a vintage dress sale, and a special sendoff celebration for HeARTS co-founder Leeanne McLim as she prepared for the national Ms./Mrs. Canada pageant in Surrey, British Columbia.

Guests enjoyed performances by violinist and Miss Central Alberta 2026 Camille Labrecque, musical theatre performer Gavin Liam Logan, and opera singer Chris Tesarski, alongside opportunities for the community to take the microphone.

Funds raised were set aside to sponsor a child's experience in partnership with Make-A-Wish Canada, Alberta & NWT, helping bring the joy of the performing arts to a young person.

Special thanks to Tia Maria, our karaoke hostess, and to everyone who performed, volunteered, donated, and helped make the evening possible!

Our Inaugural HeARTS Spotlight Cabaret

| Border Crossing Pub, Calgary

Our inaugural HeARTS Spotlight Cabaret brought together an incredible lineup of performers who generously donated their time and talents to support Calgary youth.

The evening featured:

Thanks to our performers, supporters, and a generous partnership with Pinnovate DIY Art Studio, which offered a 50% tuition discount, we raised enough to sponsor our first young person in an arts experience.

A wonderful beginning for HeARTS, and proof of what a community of artists can accomplish together!
