Arthritis Society Canada’s third annual Arthritis Fire Ball™ Toronto brought together 800 community leaders, friends and philanthropists on November 2, 2024. Hosted by Michelle Dubé of CTV News Toronto at the Fairmont Royal York, it was a sensational evening, replete with exciting auctions, moving testimonials and rousing performances by The Tenors, a multi-platinum vocal group and Arthritis Society Canada’s ambassadors. With Living Luxe as a media sponsor, the health charity raised a remarkable $875,000, more than doubling the amount raised the previous year. Funds will fuel critical programs and support research to help the 6 million people in Canada living with this devastating disease.
