Ambush Concert raises over $39,000 for Ryan Forbes, CHEO

The numbers are in. The Ambush Benefit Concert in the Park brought in over $39,000 for Ryan Forbes and CHEO. The event was held Sunday at South Gower Park. The concert was a sell-out, with over 1,000 people attending.

Organizer Lisa Brownrigg says they had hoped to surpass their $20,000 goal but had no idea they doubled it. She says the business community came through in a big way by donating over 60 silent auction items to the event.

The money was split equally between Forbes and CHEO, with nearly $20,000 going to each. Forbes was diagnosed with stage four cancer in July and is currently undergoing chemotherapy treatments. Organizers dropped off the cheque to Forbes last night.

Brownrigg says he was very emotional and grateful to the whole community for their incredible support. She says she hopes this wave of caring for each other, helping each other and coming together continues in North Grenville.
