On behalf of the Canadian Spondyloarthritis Association, we want to extend our deepest gratitude to everyone who helped make this year’s Let’s Get Loud for AS Gala such a resounding success. Thanks to your incredible generosity and unwavering support, we raised an astounding $125,000 to improve the lives of Canadians living with Axial Spondyloarthritis (axSpA), also known as Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS).

This year’s “Let’s Get Loud for AS” Gala in Montréal was nothing short of incredible. Thanks to the passion, dedication, and hard work of Michael Santillo and his amazing team, the event raised an outstanding $125,000 in support of the Canadian Spondyloarthritis Association (CSA)!

Diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis at 29, Michael Santillo launched Let's Get Loud for A.S., a gala raising awareness and support for those affected. His journey highlights early detection and advocacy.
