Loverboy plays the BMO Centre at Stampede Park for a good cause this Saturday.
The band is working for free at the Hope Gala for diabetes research.
Their lead guitarist, Paul Dean, has a family member with Type One Diabetes, which is why the cause is near and dear to the band’s heart.
Tickets are still available for the benefit which will be capped off with a 90-minute concert.
Myles Rusack with the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation tells 660News this is their biggest fundraiser of the year.
“There’s a lot of people that think galas are kind of a flash-in-the-pan and a one night party but when it comes to JDRF, the money that we’re raising, it’s going to stay in the community to fund that research for the next five years. So, events like this are critically important for what we are doing, that’s for sure,” says Rusack.
