Docs Rock for Hospital Funds: Flu Fighters Sell Out Shows
8 Nov
Summary
- Six P.E.I. doctors formed a band called The Flu Fighters.
- The band has raised over $20,000 for Prince County Hospital.
- Their concerts have repeatedly sold out, even drawing fans from Ontario.
Six physicians from Prince Edward Island have found a unique way to alleviate the stresses of a demanding healthcare system while supporting their local hospital. As the band The Flu Fighters, they have successfully raised over $20,000 for the Prince County Hospital Foundation. This foundation assists in acquiring essential medical equipment for the hospital.
The band's journey began not as a fundraiser, but as an outlet for the doctors. Weekly rehearsals evolved into sold-out performances, starting at a staff party and eventually filling venues like the Scott MacAulay Performing Arts Centre in Summerside. Their upcoming concerts on November 6 and 7, 2026, have already sold out, with one date selling out in just 27 hours.
The success of The Flu Fighters extends beyond financial contributions; their music also serves to improve staff morale, fostering connection and camaraderie within the hospital. With fans traveling from across Canada, including Ontario, to attend their shows, the doctors are hoping to exceed previous fundraising totals.
