CELEBRATING 5 YEARS:
Spurs & Sparkles
PRESENTED BY RBC ROyal bank
What happens when you mix show jumping, soccer, golf carts and a whole lot of sparkle? You get Spurs & Sparkles — and, wow, what a night!
On Wednesday, August 12, a SOLD-OUT crowd of 500 guests gathered at Wesley Clover Parks for the fifth annual Spurs & Sparkles fundraiser in support of Queensway Carleton Hospital Foundation. Co-chaired by Karen Sparks and Catherine McLaughlin, the evening delivered plenty of heart, horsepower and healthy competition — all in support of an important cause.
Presented by RBC, the event raised an incredible $201,250 to support the top priorities at Queensway Carleton Hospital.
An incredible evening of sport, sparkle, and giving back.
Spurs & Sparkles 2026 raised a record breaking $201,250 for the Queensway Carleton Hospital Foundation!
For QCH Foundation, Spurs & Sparkles is about much more than a great night out. It’s about bringing our community together, celebrating the people who make our region so special and raising funds that help make a difference for patients and their families.
Thank you to everyone who brought the sparkle, embraced the competition and helped make Spurs & Sparkles a night to remember!
Proceeds from Spurs & Sparkles benefit Queensway Carleton Hospital (QCH) Foundation. QCH provides care to 50% of the population of the City of Ottawa. When seconds count, it’s time to invest significant resources into QCH to ensure the 500,000 residents who turn to the hospital for care have access to the very best treatment options.
MEET YOUR EMCEES
Guiding us through the evening will be our extraordinary Emcees Sophie Moroz and Jeff Hopper, hosts of ‘Sophie & Jeff in the Morning’ on MOVE 100.
