3rd Annual Mike McPherson Memorial Fundraiser

An afternoon of music, community, remembrance, and support returns to Kingston this June as the 3rd Annual Mike McPherson Memorial Fundraiser takes place at Daft Brewing on Saturday, June 20, 2026.

Created in memory of Mike McPherson, this special event brings people together to honour his life while raising awareness about the opioid crisis and helping reduce the stigma surrounding substance use. Through community connection, education, and support, the fundraiser aims to spark important conversations while raising funds for organizations working to make a difference locally.

The afternoon will feature live performances by Hellhound Trail and Ruben de Groot and band, providing an entertaining soundtrack to an event rooted in compassion, awareness, and community support.

Guests can also take part in a variety of fundraising activities throughout the day, including:

• 50/50 Draw
• Silent Auction
• Raffle Prizes
• Community Information & Awareness Opportunities

Proceeds from the fundraiser will support efforts focused on opioid overdose awareness and reducing the stigma often faced by individuals and families affected by substance use. By bringing people together in a welcoming environment, organizers hope to foster understanding, support, and meaningful community action.

Events like this remind us that behind every statistic is a person, a family, and a community. The Mike McPherson Memorial Fundraiser honours that reality while creating a positive space for remembrance, healing, and hope.

Whether you come for the music, the fundraising activities, the cause, or simply to support members of the Kingston community, your participation helps contribute to a meaningful and important initiative.
