First up are Kevin and Scott Saccary, Owners of New Scotland Group of Companies<\/em>. The Saccary brothers will be hurrying hard to beat their existing fundraising record after bringing in more than $17,000 for the Foundation through the sale of ROAR Back tees last year which they’ll be extending to support their fundraising efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nova Scotian Artist and Sparkles n’ Sawdust<\/em> Studio Founder Jacquelyn Miccolis is also planning a brilliant set. Armed with a passion for creative self-expression and supporting mental health initiatives within her community, Jacquelyn is sure to shine bright on this year’s DSOM stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, joining the cast is Entrepreneur and Business owner Tom Hickey. Originally from Glace Bay, Tom is the President & CEO of T. Hickey Investments<\/em>. With Cape Breton roots, there’s no doubt Tom will bring the infectious spirit of the Island’s musical traditions to the stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rounding out the cast are Legal Aid Lawyer Morgan Manzer, Mental Health Nurse Michael Cadegan, Pharmacist Will Babstock, and Communications Professional Lesley MacLean. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Morgan, Michael, Will, and Lesley are dedicated to increasing awareness surrounding 2SLGBTQIA+ mental health through community education, social support, peer-mentoring, and pride. Expect an empowering performance from this talented trio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
