William Osler Health System Foundation is welcoming people back in-person to its 9th annual ‘Holi Gala — Festival of Colours'.
The event will take place Saturday, April 9 at 6 p.m. at the Pearson Convention Centre in Brampton. This year’s goal is to raise $450,000 to help Osler’s three hospitals and the community build back from the COVID-19 pandemic.
“This year’s Holi Gala will be an event that our community can look forward to after a two-year hiatus — colour, fun, dancing and great entertainment. As physicians working through this pandemic, we know how important health care has been and continues to be for our community. This highly-anticipated event will help us build back even stronger than we were before,” said Dr. Vandana Ahluwalia and Dr. Gurjit Bajwa, co-chairs of the Holi Gala Committee, in a release.

Entertainment at the event will include a live performance by bhangra musician Jazzy B.
Auction prizes will include courtside tickets to see the Toronto Raptors, one-year tuition from Mentor College and more.
“Funds raised during this year’s Holi Gala will help purchase essential surgical equipment like surgical tables and anesthetic gas machines. Your support, whether through a donation or sponsorship, directly enables Osler to continue providing exemplary health care when it is needed most," said Ken Mayhew, William Osler Health System Foundation president and CEO.
The Holi Gala has raised more than $2.3 million for William Osler Health System Foundation since its inception in 2014.
