Set against the backdrop of live Afro-Jazz music by Melafrique & Slim Tyme, this cocktail-formal gathering brings together culture, conversation, and collective action in the heart of Edmonton.
Guests will enjoy Afro-fusion small bites, immersive music, and a powerful panel conversation featuring blood donors, recipients, and experts, while learning about blood, plasma, and stem cell donation in a welcoming, culturally grounded space.
The theme for the night, From Taboo To Tradition, reflects NotJustYou’s seventh year of impact and our commitment to transforming community giving into something familiar, celebrated, and shared.
