TORONTO, ON — The Meagan Bebenek Foundation (MBF) is proud to announce “Night of Discovery”, a landmark evening of purpose, passion, and progress taking place on September 25, 2025, at the legendary El Mocambo in Toronto.
The event marks the official launch of MBF’s 25th anniversary year, celebrating a quarter-century of groundbreaking research, partnerships, and hope in the fight against childhood brain cancer. Held during Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, this milestone also unveils MBF’s boldest initiative yet the 25 in 25 Campaign, a commitment to fund 25 groundbreaking pediatric brain tumour seed research projects over the next year.
“There couldn’t be a better time to honour the lives touched by the Meagan Bebenek Foundation and to rally support for the work still to come,” said Denise Bebenek, Founder and President of MBF.
Adding to the excitement, Juno Award–winning artist Sean Jones, fresh off his successful Palais Royale residency, will headline the evening with a dynamic live performance.
“It’s a privilege to lend my voice to such an important cause,” said Sean Jones. “The Meagan Bebenek Foundation has spent 25 years turning heartbreak into hope, and I’m proud to stand with them as they launch the next chapter. Night of Discovery is more than a concert it’s a movement.”
