Thank you to everyone who has supported this event to date. We look forward to seeing you in 2020 for the sixth annual Taylor Bell Memorial Fundraiser, helping us honour our beautiful daughter, Taylor, who we so tragically lost to acute myeloid leukemia, and helping other young adults who need it!

Revisit the 1st Annual Taylor Bell Memorial Fundraiser!
The first annual Taylor Bell Memorial Fundraiser was held at Julio’s Barrio in Calgary on October 10, 2015, and we have to say a big thank you to everyone that made the event so successful!
Taylor’s mom, Jacqueline, said, “We are so blown away by the enthusiasm and generosity of our friends and families! We had a goal in mind for the amount of money we were hoping to raise with high hopes that we would be able to afford to send a young adult dealing with cancer to one of the life-changing retreats that YACC offers. Well, we surpassed our goal by double the amount! We should be able to send at least three young adults in honour of Taylor, as well as giving a generous portion of our funds to help Taylor’s love, the Youth Singers of Calgary.”
The second event was held on October 8, 2016 and raised over $17,000 to support Taylor’s legacy. YACC’s founder and executive director, Geoff Eaton, shared his personal story as well as educated people on how YACC helps young adults cope with cancer in Canada.
