About / The Story
Decades of PartiesOne Big Milestone
For years, Michael Bryer has thrown legendary parties that bring together friends and family. Now, to celebrate turning 50, he's throwing the biggest one yet — and turning it into something bigger than a birthday. Windsor born and raised, Michael went to Kennedy High School and spent 22 years with the Greater Essex County District School Board as a developmental services worker — coaching teams and volunteering his time along the way. For the last four and a half years, he has served his hometown in a new way: as a firefighter with Windsor Fire & Rescue, answering the call when his neighbours need it most. It's the same heart he's always had — showing up for people — now in turnout gear. This year's bash raises money and toys for local families in need through the Windsor Firefighters' Benefit Fund and Sparky's Toy Drive.
Giving Back to Windsor
Michael has always believed a good party should leave something behind. Turning 50 felt like the right moment to put that energy behind the crews and families who look after this city all year long — so the night doubles as a fundraiser for the Windsor Firefighters’ Benefit Fund and Sparky’s Toy Drive.

The Cause
Every Ticket Gives Back

About the Windsor Firefighters’ Benefit Fund
The Windsor Firefighters' Benefit Fund is a registered charity with a simple mission: alleviate poverty, uplift the community, and provide unwavering support to firefighters and their families in times of need. Every donation and charitable endeavour stays inside the city — funding direct relief for firefighters and firefighter families facing hardship, help for neighbours dealing with economic hardship, and grants to other local registered charities doing work in Windsor. It also runs community programs like Sparky's Toy Drive each Christmas.
benefitfund.caAbout Sparky’s Toy Drive
Sparky's Toy Drive is a volunteer-run program that provides new toys to local families with children 13 and under each Christmas, serving Windsor and Essex County. New toys are collected at City of Windsor fire halls and at donation boxes hosted by local businesses, and every monetary donation goes toward toy purchases.
Charitable registration number: 81290 2740 RR0001
Monetary donations are eligible for a tax receipt.
