Our
Story
Each year, more than 4,000 babies are born at Regina General Hospital, with over 500 of those newborns requiring care in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). This means that one in every eight babies born in Regina and its surrounding areas needs specialized support during their critical early days, weeks, or months.
Our daughter, Eleanor, was among those who required such care. Born in August 2022, more than seven weeks early and weighing just 4 pounds, 4 ounces, her arrival was both sudden and challenging. Due to a high demand for NICU space, we were nearly transferred out of the province. However, thanks to the prompt and expert care provided by the NICU team at Regina General Hospital, Eleanor was born safely and received the essential care she needed during her first crucial months.
Our family remains deeply grateful for the exceptional care we received, and last year, we channeled that gratitude into action by hosting the inaugural "Local Bands for Tiny Hands" Cabaret. Thanks to the generous support from our community, we successfully raised nearly $16,000 for the NICU. This year, we are excited to announce the second annual "Local Bands for Tiny Hands" Cabaret, scheduled for March 1, 2025. The event will feature Saskatchewan's own, Justin LaBrash with band True North as the headliner, with Karissa Hoffart opening the evening. We are eager to build on last year’s success with an even more impactful event.
About the Event
Local Bands for Tiny Hands is more than just a cabaret - it's a night where music, community and compassion come together to support the tiniest and most vulnerable members of our community.
On March 1, 2025, we're turning up the volume at The Turvey Centre for a night filled with incredible live performances, great company, and the shared goal of making a difference. This event was created to raise funds for The Hospitals of Regina Foundation in support of the NICU supporting the lifesaving care that premature and critically ill newborns receive.
Why the NICU?
For many families (including ours) the NICU is where some of the most difficult and hopeful moments happen. Our connection to this cause runs deep, and this is our way of giving back to the doctors, nurses and specialists who fight for every tiny life.
What to Expect
Live Local Music - Headliner Justin LaBrash and opener Karissa Hoffart will take the stage for a night of high energy entertainment
Dinner and Drinks - Exclusive to our sponsors and table holders (limited tables still available) before the music begins
Dancing and Partying - After dinner the dance floor opens up for an unforgettable night of music and fun
Support a Great Cause - Every ticket sold and every sponsorship directly supports NICU care
Whether you're here for the music, the cause, or the community, Local Bands for Tiny Hands is a night you'll never forget.
Let's make this year our biggest and most impactful yet. Join us and help give the tiniest hands a fighting chance.
