ABOUT THE EVENT

At Start2Finish, we believe it takes a village to raise a child. That’s why we’ve partnered with Big Brothers Big Sisters and the Children’s Aid Foundation of Halton to support children through every stage of life in a united, wraparound way.

We call this journey “The Road to Potential”—a reflection of what’s possible when we walk alongside a child, together.

From building early literacy and confidence, to providing mentorship and life guidance, to ensuring safety and vital support, our three organizations walk with each child every step of the way because no one should grow up without someone in their corner.

THE VENUES

Chuckles for Charity is a long-standing upscale night of laughter, delicious food, and meaningful connection with community-minded people like you. This unique evening blends fine dining, premium entertainment, and purpose, all in support of a powerful cause.

The night begins at Ce Soir Brasserie + Bar, one of Oakville’s most celebrated culinary gems. Known for its elegant ambiance, warm hospitality, and locally inspired menu, guests will enjoy hearty gourmet appetizers paired with curated wines, setting the tone for an unforgettable evening.

From there, guests take a short stroll down historic Navy Street to the Oakville Centre for the Performing Arts, a cultural landmark in the heart of downtown. There, you will settle in for a laughter-filled showcase featuring some of Canada's top comedic talent, alongside an exclusive live auction of high-end, one of a kind experiences, all in support of children’s literacy and well-being.

The evening wraps up just as it began, back at Ce Soir, where guests gather for a cozy nightcap and final moments of connection.

It is elegant, impactful, and truly one of a kind. Join us for a night making a difference.
