Jacqueline Auguste and her band Across The Board will be supported by Emily Mac, American Pharoah and Kristy Hagerman. Proceeds benefit Canadian Cancer Society.
This year we hope to combine the run and the concert…and welcome musicians, music fans and cancer survivors and their families to join us in raising funds during Breast Cancer Awareness Month”— Jacqueline Auguste, Across The Board
To call Across The Board’s frontwoman Jacqueline Auguste a “Warrior” is the understatement of the year. Just one look at her ferocious presence in the band’s latest video, “Wild Ones,” and one can see she is a woman on a mission. Whether it’s battling the ranks with her band, to emerge as one of the most celebrated indie acts on the Canadian music scene, or waging her own personal battle against breast cancer, Jacqueline fights with the determination of a prize fighter, ensuring victory against any would-be challenger.
On October 11, 2019, at Toronto’s iconic Opera House, Jacqueline and Across The Board will wage war on cancer, with some help from their friends. ROCK THE CURE’s lineup also includes Emily Mac, American Pharoah and Kristy Hagerman. All proceeds will be going to Canadian Cancer Society in support of breast cancer research. A variety of VIP packages will available for corporate sponsors and the line-up of bands will make for an amazing night of music, dancing and inspirational messages.

ROCK THE CURE is charity rock and roll concert founded by Jacqueline, in cooperation with MC2 Music Media in Toronto. As a musician, physician and cancer survivor, Jacqueline wanted to combine her passion for music and philanthropy together into a special concert featuring some of Canada’s best female rockers, in support of breast cancer research.
Diagnosed in the summer of 2018 with breast cancer, Jacqueline was only two weeks into her chemotherapy protocol when she and her youngest daughter took a team of 40 supporters on the CIBC Run For The Cure in Toronto.
“This year we hope to combine the run and the concert in to a larger project and welcome musicians, music fans and cancer survivors and their families to join us in raising funds during Breast Cancer Awareness Month.” – Jacqueline Auguste
