TOAST OF THE TOWN 2026 – GUEST INFORMATION LETTER
Honouring Terry O’Flynn & Advancing CAR T-Cell Therapy in Alberta
Dear Guests,
It is our honour to welcome you to the 2026 Toast of the Town Gala event, an evening dedicated to celebrating the leadership, generosity, and enduring community spirit embodied by Terry O’Flynn. We look forward to hosting you on April 17th at the River Cree Resort and Casino.
Many of you have been long-time supporters of Toast of the Town and close friends of Terry. Your presence adds a depth of meaning to this evening that cannot be overstated.
We are grateful to our presenting partner, Synergy Projects, our Cornerstone, Gold and Silver Partners, and the numerous long-standing supporters whose generosity helps make this evening possible.
This year, we continue raising awareness and critical funds for immunotherapy research at the Cross Cancer Institute. Thanks to supporters like you, we are nearing our $2.5 million goal to bring the revolutionary CAR T-cell therapy program to patients across Alberta.
You can expect an evening filled with WOW!, warmth, laughter, and heartfelt moments as we celebrate Terry and the impact he has made. Terry’s leadership, generosity, and unwavering commitment to community have touched countless lives, and it is our privilege to honour him. You will also hear directly from physicians and cancer survivors who will share the remarkable difference CAR T-cell therapy is already making.
