This year’s Butterfly Event is going to look a little different…
Get ready for a high-energy night out featuring live music, cold beer, custom cocktails, cheerleaders, members of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and interactive games. The Butterfly Bash 2026 is all about coming together, letting loose, and having an unforgettable time while supporting Canadian youth mental health!

Since 2022, Sam’s Foundation’s annual Butterfly Event has welcomed more than 1,100 guests and helped build a growing network of businesses and community members who recognize the challenges facing today’s youth and are committed to being part of the solution.

In partnership with LiveDifferent and the Toba Centre for Children & Youth, 100% of the profits raised through the event directly fund youth mental health programs and services. These initiatives reach students, families, and communities across Canada, providing practical tools, professional support, and hope to those who need it most.

Come ready to dance, play, sip, and make an impact. Butterfly Bash 2026 isn’t just a fundraiser—it’s a party with a purpose!

FAQ's

What time does the Butterfly Bash start and what is the attire?

The main event begins at 6:00 pm and is scheduled until 10:30 pm with a hard stop at 11:00 pm. As this is more of a concert-party themed event, the dress code is casual, were calling it a party with a purpose so wear what you would be comfortable in!

 

Who is the Butterfly Bash designed for?
The Butterfly Bash is a fundraising event created for sponsors, business leaders, professionals, and community supporters who want to enjoy an unforgettable evening while making a meaningful impact. As a new addition to our annual fundraising efforts, the Butterfly Bash was designed to give guests a chance to connect, build relationships, enjoy a memorable night out, and support youth mental health in a more relaxed and interactive setting.
