Mark your calendars for an unforgettable evening! On Saturday, September 27, 2025, the Rocena Kidney Foundation’s 3rd Annual Gala will take place at the Ottawa Convention Centre—and this year’s theme is nothing short of dazzling: Old Hollywood Glamour.

The night begins with a cocktail reception at 6 PM, followed by dinner and dancing at 7 PM. Guests can look forward to a gourmet buffet, live performances, and exciting door prizes. Most importantly, every ticket supports kidney health research, outreach, and education, with a focus on improving culturally competent care in the African, Caribbean, and Black community.

Tickets are available for $120 per guest now at RocenaKidneyFoundation.ca.

This will also be our second year providing full event coverage—from hospitality to professional photography and videography. We’re looking forward to capturing the magic of the night, reconnecting with familiar faces, and meeting new supporters who are joining the cause for the very first time.

Following the gala, guests will be able to enjoy and share a collection of stunning imagery from the evening—a timeless reminder of a night where glamour and giving came together for hope.

We’re excited to share a promo video we created for this year’s gala—press play below and get a glimpse of what’s in store.

We can’t wait to see you dressed to impress on September 27th—join us for a night of celebration, community, and lasting impact!
