Toronto, ON - The 10th anniversary of Kiss CF Goodbye (19+ Event) returns to Toronto’s historic Opera House, celebrating a decade of powerful live music and meaningful impact in support of Cystic Fibrosis awareness and research.

Founded by Paul Taskas in honour of his daughter, who was born with Cystic Fibrosis, Kiss CF Goodbye has grown into a deeply moving annual event that unites music fans, families, and supporters for an unforgettable night of tribute performances and purpose.

Over the past nine years, the event has welcomed more than 4,000 attendees and raised over $100,000 for Cystic Fibrosis initiatives. This milestone's 10th anniversary promises to be the most powerful yet.

“What started as something very personal has grown into a community-driven event that means so much to so many people,” says founder Paul Taskas. “Each year, we come together not just for the music, but for a cause that continues to inspire us all.”

A Night of Unforgettable Performances

This year’s lineup features an incredible roster of talent:

with a full-scale rock spectacle

Set against the backdrop of the iconic Opera House, Kiss CF Goodbye blends professional production, passionate performances, and a deeply personal mission that resonates with every audience member.
