Sing Out for CHEO is more than just a charity event! This event is recognized as an official CHEO Foundation fundraiser. Over the past four years, the event has grown to include a fantastic silent auction, an artist competition, door prizes and raffles with gifts provided by local merchants.

Danny Sylvestre is an Ottawa Valley singer/songwriter and the founder and organizer for the Sing Out for CHEO event. He had his life dramatically altered when the doctors at CHEO diagnosed his daughter with Muscular Dystrophy. Over the years, she has had to go through a series of surgeries, therapies and countless late night visits at CHEO. The specialists at CHEO patiently carried them through their healing process. When she became an adult, CHEO still supported her by way of finding doctors and specialists outside of CHEO so that she may continue her medical follow-ups.

For the fourth year, Danny is the CHEO Ambassador for this event and in partnership with Ottawa Pure Country 94, Sound Check Entertainment, Lone Star, Via Rail, Gorley Lalonde Royal Lepage, GallantMEDIA, Tim Tierney/Ottawa Councillor, Long & McQuad, Shoebox Recording Studio and with the help of a great team of devoted volunteers.
