Diwali Fundraiser for Trillium Health Centre Foundation
Features Bollywood Stars from Mumbai


Toronto & Mississauga, ON, August 16, 2005: Happy New Year! While it might be a little early for most folks to be preparing their New Year’s activities, Trillium Health Centre Foundation is busy planning their 4th annual Diwali - the Festival of Lights celebrating the South Asian New Year. And we plan to celebrate by bringing out Bollywood’s biggest and brightest stars on Friday, October 14, 2005 at the elegant Pearson Convention Center in Brampton.

Bollywood’s hottest actors, including Akshay Kumar, the “Prince of Bollywood” and Lara Dutta, Miss Universe 2000, will fly in from Mumbai for Trillium Health Centre Foundation’s Diwali 2005. Rahul Khanna, star of “Bollywood Hollywood” and Ruby Bhatia, former Miss India-Canada and India’s most famous veejay, will co-host.

Sukhbir, the ‘Prince of Bhangra’ will sing selections from his seven albums, accompanied by eight Bollywood dancers plus two dhol players. Guests will also enjoy dancing to DJ Jiten’s selections.

Co-chairs Ajay Virmani and Dr. Dalip Bhangu are pleased to welcome Platinum Sponsor AstraZeneca Canada Inc. as a sponsor for the second year. Funds raised will support Trillium Health Centre.

Corporate table sales have hit a record as over 600 seats have already been sold in response to this year’s exciting line-up of stars. Organizers are urging people to buy their tables or tickets early to avoid disappointment. All funds raised will be used to purchase critically needed medical equipment.

For more information call Trillium Health Centre Foundation at (416) 521-4095 or (905) 848-7575.
