Let your light shine at Diwali 2009 and support Seniors Health & Wellness at Trillium Health Centre
Celebrate the ‘Festival of Lights’ at 8th annual Diwali fundraiser
Trillium Health Centre Foundation's Diwali Fundraiser, the largest of its kind in Canada, has a new goal for 2009. The event aims to address one of the greatest challenges our generation will face – the health and wellness of our seniors.
Trillium Health Centre serves one of the fastest growing seniors populations in Ontario. As the number of seniors continues to grow, we are preparing to meet their specialized health care needs. Many of our older patients struggle with chronic illness or multiple health conditions and need complex care close to home.
Trillium's new strategic plan responds to the changing realities of health care today and envisions a seniors-friendly organization that helps our aging population achieve greater health, independence and quality of life. Community support of Trillium’s Diwali 2009, through participation or donation, will help bring this vision to life.
| WHAT: | Trillium Health Centre Foundation’s 8th Annual Diwali Fundraiser in support of Seniors Health & Wellness |
| WHEN: | Friday, October 2, 2009 6:30 p.m. |
| WHERE: | Pearson Convention Center 2638 Steeles Ave. E., Brampton |
The recent opening of the new Inpatient Wing at Trillium-Mississauga is proving that our vision of imaginative, patient-friendly design works – it dramatically changes the way care is delivered!
This expansion project has given us the chance to reassign existing space to new purposes. Now we need your help to refresh these spaces to provide inspired care to seniors. This means introducing new technology, specialized equipment and accessible, healing spaces that will greatly enhance the care and comfort of our elderly patients.
Diwali 2009 Co-Chairs Dr. Gopal Bhatnagar, Chief-of-Staff, Trillium Health Centre and Anil Shah, President, Ni-Met Metals & Minerals Inc., invite you to celebrate Diwali and enjoy an exotic evening of South Asian flair.
Jake Dheer, station manager at Rogers TV Dufferin-Peel and immediate past chair of the Mississauga Board of Trade is our distinguished emcee.
Entertainment showcase: Rhythm Dhol Bass, aka “RDB” are joining us direct from Britain! Experience RDB’s original, exciting blend of modern musical styles and Punjabi folk music - featuring the captivating vocals of Nindy Kaur.
Musicians RDB (Rhythm Dhol Bass) plus singer Nindy Kaur are coming from London, U.K. to perform at Trillium Health Centre Foundation’s Diwali Fundraiser on October 2 at Pearson Convention Center.
One of Toronto's finest Dhol players, Dholi Tanveer will kick off the entertainment. Eight Bollywood dancers and our traditional Diwali fireworks display will help make it an unforgettable evening. After a sumptuous dinner, dance to the rhythms of DJ Jiten until 1:00 am!
Your involvement in Trillium’s Diwali Fundraiser will help us realize our vision. Together we will ensure our seniors get the quality of care they deserve – the very best.
A limited number of tickets are still available. To reserve tickets or make a donation, please contact Dipti Rach 905-848-7580, ext 2930 or drach@thc.on.ca. For more information, call 905-848-7575 or visit www.trilliumgiving.ca.
