An Unforgettable Night at the Atlantic Men's Centre Gala

Over $300,000 raised to help men across the Atlantic region find freedom from addiction — and a personal moment for our founder on stage.

We had an incredible evening last night at the Atlantic Men's Centre Gala in Moncton — a night filled with powerful stories of transformation, and one our entire team was honoured to be part of.

We're thrilled to share that the event raised over $300,000 to help men across the Atlantic region find freedom from addiction. Every dollar goes directly into the kind of long-term, life-changing recovery work that brings men home to their families, their communities, and themselves.

A personal moment for our founder

Our founder, Jordan Kelly, had the privilege of taking the stage to share his own life experience. He spoke openly about his journey and the pivotal role Teen Challenge played in his recovery — a cause that remains very close to our hearts here at the company, and one of the reasons we do what we do every day.

Standing in front of a packed room and being honest about that story isn't easy. We're proud of him, and grateful for every person who listened.

Leading the way as a Match Gift sponsor

We were genuinely proud to serve as one of the Match Gift Leaders for the evening. Match Gift sponsorship means every dollar donated by guests was doubled — turning an already-generous room into something exponentially bigger.

If you're a Moncton-area business owner reading this and you've ever wondered whether your company can have a real impact on a cause you care about, the answer is yes. You don't need to wait until you're a multinational. You just need to show up.

Why this matters to us

Teen Challenge isn't a brand partnership for us — it's personal. Supporting the Atlantic Men's Centre is part of how we live out the company's purpose beyond decks and rooftops. We'd build for them either way; getting to be part of nights like this is the privilege.

The dessert auction got competitive 🍰

Let's just say things got competitive. We couldn't resist participating in the famous dessert auction and were happy to bring some delicious treats home while supporting such a vital mission. Worth every dollar, and the team is already strategizing for next year.
