Big Love 2026 takes place on Friday, February 27, 2026, at the Florence Filberg Centre. For those unable to attend in person, the event will once again be livestreamed, making it possible for supporters near and far to take part.
A 40th Anniversary Celebration
This year’s Big Love Benefit marks a major milestone as YANA celebrates 40 years of supporting Comox Valley families. To honour the year it all began, Big Love 2026 will rewind to 1986 with a night inspired by nostalgia, memory-lane moments, and 80s-era fun. Guests are encouraged to embrace the spirit of the year, whether that means full retro flair or a few subtle throwback touches.
