FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
We are proud to introduce our 2026 celebrity lineup for Walk the Walk, Regina’s Celebrity Drag Fundraiser, on August 28!
Six local leaders will take to the stage to Walk the Walk in support of Lulu’s Lodge and 2SLGBTQIA+ youth in the province.
The celebrity lineup for 2026 includes:
- Bobby McStay– Firefighter, Regina Fire Services
- Heather Ervin – Director of Engagement, Globe Theatre

- Rob Kraushaar – Tattoo artist and community advocate
- Talitha McCloskey – Senior Manager of Impact Partnerships and Government Relations, Growclass; Co-founder, RaiseHER Co.

Walk the Walk celebrities will raise funds over the summer for Lulu’s Lodge, Saskatchewan’s only transitional home for 2SLGBTQIA+ youth facing homelessness, which is run by the John Howard Society of Saskatchewan. Celebrities will also perform in drag on stage at Casino Regina on Friday, August 28. At the end of the night a winning performer is chosen by celebrity judges, who also take into account the amount each celebrity has fundraised.
“I’m so incredibly thankful for these amazing people who have chosen to truly walk the walk for Lulu’s Lodge and the 2SLGBTQIA+ youth we serve,” said Jada Yee, former winner of Walk the Walk (as Chyna B. Deadly) and chair of the WTW planning committee.
“Stepping onto a drag stage takes courage, and each of these local leaders is doing it to help change lives. I couldn’t be more grateful for their willingness to make a difference.”
