MOOSE JAW — Moose Jaw Family Services Inc. (MJFS) is turning up the volume on community support with “All Amped Up,” an upcoming concert fundraiser featuring high-energy performances by local favourites The New Montagues and The Bromantics this month.
The fundraiser will take place at the Mae Wilson Theatre starting at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, April 12.
Executive Director Tara Jones emphasized the significance of the event, noting that proceeds will directly benefit MJFS’ mission to provide vital support to local families and help secure a new space for its expanding reach.
“All of the funds from All Amped Up will go towards our capital campaign,” Jones said. “This fundraiser will be a key step in helping us secure a larger, more functional space to better serve the community.”
Attendees can expect a night filled with energetic performances spanning classic rock, funk, doo-wop, and modern pop. The Bromantics bring a nostalgic twist with their retro-inspired sound, while The New Montagues are known for their dynamic stage presence and danceable setlist.
“It’s going to be a super fun evening,” Jones said. “There will be lots of energy, great music, and, most importantly, an opportunity to give back to the community. Tickets are already on sale, and we’re expecting them to go fast.”
MJFS has long been a pillar of the community, offering affordable counselling, family support programs, and aid for vulnerable individuals. However, as demand for these services continues to grow, so does the need for a larger facility.
“We really love the building we’re in, and we’ll all be really sad to move… but we know that there will be really big positives to moving into a newer, bigger place,” Jones said. Reaching this goal will take time, but events like All Amped Up bring the organization closer to making it a reality.
The event has already garnered strong local support, with Casino Moose Jaw and SGEU Local 1100 — Moose Jaw and Area signing on as key sponsors. However, MJFS is still seeking additional sponsorships for this and other initiatives to maximize its fundraising efforts.
“We’re incredibly grateful for our sponsors who are making this event possible,” Jones said. “We’re also inviting other businesses or individuals who want to contribute to reach out. This is an amazing opportunity to support the community while gaining exposure for your brand.”
With a lineup of incredible live music, a worthy cause, and a chance to make a tangible difference in the community, All Amped Up promises to be a night to remember.
“Not only will it be an amazing concert, but it’s also an opportunity to help families in need,” Jones said. “We can’t wait to see everyone there.”
