THE STOLLERY CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL FOUNDATION

A message from our board chair and CEO Absence makes the heart grow fonder, and that couldn’t be more true as we welcome you to our 24th Annual Snow ake Gala.

If the past two years have taught us anything, it’s the importance of connection. Connection between family and friends, and connection between past and present. We’re thrilled to have you here connecting with us this evening as we experience the magic of Snowflake Gala, together.

Tonight, we celebrate the many people, like you, who make children’s health a priority and help make the Stollery the worldclass hospital that it is. With your help, we’re transforming children’s health care by making sure kids and youth have access to some of the best physical and mental health care anywhere in the world.

On behalf of our board of trustees, our Foundation team and the countless Stollery families across Western Canada, thank you for joining us and making a life-changing difference for kids right here in your backyard.
