Show up. That's most of it.
Our events are where the mission gets loud — fundraisers, community meetups, and the moments that turn donors into a community.
Light The Night Ottawa
Carleton University Fieldhouse, Ottawa — time to be confirmed.
Life's A Trip is walking as a team at the LLSC's Light The Night Ottawa — an evening walk honouring everyone affected by blood cancer, and a direct continuation of the Softball Showdown's contribution to the LLSC.
The Life's A Trip Softball Showdown
Ryan presents a cumulative $25,000 to Lisa of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Canada, representing three years of Softball Showdown fundraising (2024–2026).
On June 20, 2026, 10 teams came together for a full day of softball, competition, prizes, food, and community. This year's tournament alone raised more than $10,000 for Life's A Trip — a 50% increase over the previous year. Combined with the two prior years, the Softball Showdown has now raised a cumulative $25,000 for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Canada — donated in full and logged publicly on our Life's A Trip Light The Night Ottawa team page.
Three tournaments. Three champions.
Every Softball Showdown crowns a champion — and every year, the competition (and the fundraising) gets bigger.

Life of the Party.
In November 2019, roughly three months after Trip's passing, about 300 people gathered for Life of the Party — a celebration of what would have been his 22nd birthday. It was part party, part fundraiser, and completely true to the person being honoured, raising more than $12,000 and setting a principle that still guides the foundation today.
