Friday, July 11 will be 'CHEO Night at Bluesfest,' giving festivalgoers a chance to support CHEO through fundraising activities, including a 50//50 lottery, while also learning about CHEO's vision to care for children and youth in the community. 'Building a strong community is at the heart of what Bluesfest is about,' Mark Monahan, executive director of Ottawa Bluesfest, said in a statement. 'And supporting CHEO is a no-brainer for us, as it is about building the future of our city. We're thrilled to have Hozier headline on a night dedicated to such a vital cause.' The lineup on July 11 includes Hozier, The Dead South, Charlotte Day Wilson, Sarah Harmer, Amigo The Devil, The Claudettes, Claude Munson, Emilie Steele & The Deal, Kristine St-Pierre, Sophie d'Orléans, Vikki Gilmore, and DJ Karyen. During 'CHEO Night at Bluesfest,' you will be able to purchase a 50/50 ticket in support of CHEO online and onsite. There will also be tiptap stations throughout LeBreton Flats to accept donations for CHEO. CHEO is also setting up a booth throughout Bluesfest, allowing visitors to learn more about CHEO's transformative vision. 'When two beloved brands like Ottawa Bluesfest and CHEO come together, especially on a night featuring a talent like Hozier, the impact will be felt far beyond the stage,' Steve Read, president and CEO of the CHEO Foundation, said in a statement. 'Festivalgoers may be coming out for the unforgettable sounds of the music heard that night, but they'll also be directly helping change the lives of kids who need our help more than ever.' Bluesfest runs July 10 to 20 at LeBreton Flats.
