SUMMARY:Jacks Gala: Reaching For The Stars
DESCRIPTION:Come join us for a night of hope and resilience at the Brookstreet Hotel!\n“Jack’s Gala: Reaching for the Stars” is a unique fundraising event that will step into an evening of celestial elegance. Enjoy a night out for an exquisite dining experience\, captivating entertainment\, and exciting auctions! All in support of finding a cure for Jack! Together\, let us be inspired and reach for the stars! \nThe Laidlaw Family\nWe are Richard and Anna Laidlaw\, and we live in Ottawa\, Ontario\, Canada with our family. We have 3 beautiful sons who bring so much joy to our lives: Jack who is 7 and in grade 2\, Scott who is 5 and in senior kindergarten\, and Tom who is 3 and in preschool.\nOur eldest son Jack is a bright\, happy\, friendly and empathetic boy. He has many hobbies ranging from hockey and other sports to playing piano! He dreams of being an astronaut and wants to be the first person to walk on Mars!\nUnfortunately In December of 2023\, Jack was diagnosed with SPG4. As his parents\, we were left feeling devastated and helpless. \nWhat is SPG4\nSPG4 is a rare genetic disease and neurological disorder. It is characterized by degeneration of neurons in the brain and spinal cord. The main symptom of SPG4 is muscle weakness and spasticity (stiffness) in the legs. Once symptoms begin\, neuron degeneration continues leading to progressive muscle weakness and spasticity. \nWe need your support\nBecause a small population is affected by SPG4 (1 in 50\,000 people)\, research for the SPG4 Cure Project does not have funding. It has fallen on families affected by SPG4 to raise money and fund this project so that the cure can reach human clinical trials. We are hosting “Jack’s Gala: Reaching for the Stars” to help raise money to fund research for the SPG4 Cure Project. This will be a night of hope for Jack and the Laidlaw family. \nFor more information please go to our website! \nREGISTER HERE

If you want to hear from someone who’s walked the walk—don’t miss this. \nPlease note: The ONE Forum will be held at the EY Centre.\nThe networking lunch will take place separately at Anderson Links Golf & Country Club. \nONE (The OTUS Nonprofit Exchange\, formerly OAX) is more than a half-day event—it’s a response to what we’ve heard from hundreds of nonprofit and association leaders across Canada: \n\n“We want to connect with our peers\, share openly\, and walk away with ideas that actually help.” \n\nSo that’s exactly what ONE is built to do.\nIf you’re navigating change\, rethinking your funding model\, managing a burnt-out team\, or just craving real connection with peers who get it—this event is for you. \n🔹 What to Expect\nThis isn’t your typical conference. You’ll get a mix of high-level insight\, peer-driven discussion\, and practical tools you can take back to your team. \n🔹 Survey Insights with David Coletto\, Abacus Data\nDavid breaks down the results of the 2025 ONE Survey—what’s keeping nonprofit leaders up at night\, what’s shifting in public trust\, and what it all means for strategy\, staffing\, and funding in the year ahead. \n🔹 Panel: Leading Through Uncertainty\nModerated by Tony Lyons\, this panel explores what it takes to lead when nothing feels predictable. We’ll dig into succession planning and how to build financial resilience when the future feels foggy. \n🔹 HR on the Edge: Navigating Global Shifts\, Trends & Talent Strategy + Peer Roundtables with Karen Brownrigg\nFrom recruiting and retention to hybrid policies and hard conversations—no HR topic is off-limits. Then dive into peer-led roundtables to swap insights with other nonprofit leaders. \n🔹 Revenue Reimagined: A Real-World Look at What’s Working\nPresented by Cherry Chan\, CEO of OTUS\nGrants and donations aren’t enough anymore. In this direct\, practical session\, Cherry will unpack how real nonprofits are generating revenue outside of dues\, donations\, and government funding—drawing from OTUS’s experience supporting over 300 organizations and its bold $50 million sustainability challenge. \n🔹 Choose Your Experience\nStart with breakfast and networking\, then dive into expert panels\, honest conversations\, and practical tools. Want to keep the conversation going? Join us for an optional lunch and golf at Anderson Links Golf & Country Club. \nYou’ve got options: \n\nThe ONE Forum\nONE + Lunch\nONE + Lunch + Golf\n\n⛳ Location: Anderson Links Golf & Country Club\, Ottawa\n🕛 Timing: Immediately after the forum (details in your confirmation email) \n🎟️ Tickets: Choose your experience when you register. \n🎯 Who Should Attend \n\nNonprofit and association leaders\nExecutive Directors and CEOs\nSenior staff in finance\, operations\, strategy\, and communications\nBoard members ready to think differently about sustainability and growth\n\nIf you’re leading through complexity and ready to stop doing things the same old way—this room is for you.\nSpace is limited.

SUMMARY:Databells Debut – Opening Night Vernissage
DESCRIPTION:This opening night event is the official debut of the Databells art installation by Rich Loen. As an immersive experience\, it dares to promise intrigue\, wonder\, whimsy\, and a sense of discoverability for you to explore. Special to the opening night is a reveal experience that will be uniquely performed only at this vernissage event. As an attendee\, you can expect to be part of the unveiling experience\, as you are welcomed through the Databells installation. Accompanying this will be a live jazz performance (you’ll have to guess who\, because this is a surprise!).

Bells might ring when: “a star is born in our galaxy”\, “someone dies due to smoking”\, “a ship passes through the Suez canal”\, “an Amazon package is delivered”\, “Someone in this room just farted”\, and so on. This conceptual art piece gently guides the experiencer through a winding path of custom wood tables\, all arranged in an experiential statistical symphony. \nTickets are required and can be secured through Eventbrite\, or accessed through our website: salondesbananes.com
