The Result

Music in Motion Galas Raise More Than $1 Million
for Bone and Joint Health Care in Alberta!

The 2011 Music in Motion galas in Calgary and Edmonton have raised more than $1 million to improve care and rehabilitation for Albertans with bone and joint disease.

Canadian singing sensation Nikki Yanofsky brought the audience to their feet repeatedly as she closed both venues with I Believe, the Vancouver Winter Olympics theme song.

The 17-year-old singer who wowed the world with her performances at the Olympics and Paralympics belted, crooned and purred a selection of jazz and pop greats on Sept. 20 at Calgary's Jack Singer Concert Hall and on Oct. 2 at Enmax Hall in Edmonton’s Winspear Centre. She was joined by jazz legend Tommy Banks, trumpet virtuoso Jens Lindemann and the Alberta Ballet as well as the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra (Calgary event) and the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra (Edmonton event).

Proceeds will span Alberta and be used to fund the creation of a world class Bone Research Laboratory for the McCaig Institute for Bone and Joint Health and the Alberta Bone and Joint Health Institute. Proceeds will also support the work of outstanding University of Alberta physical therapy students who are dedicated to improving patient care.

The Cause

Music in Motion is a unique fundraising event bringing together six dynamic organizations from across the province – committed to working together to create an outstanding bone and joint health care network for all Albertans.

Our goal is simple: To improve the care and rehabilitation that musculoskeletal patients receive across Alberta.

Proceeds from Music in Motion will be used to support the work of outstanding University of Alberta physical therapy students, dedicated to improving the care patients receive in Alberta.
