5th annual Oakville Diwali Gala to raise funds for Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital

Plans are underway for the fifth annual 2018 Oakville Diwali Gala, Oakville’s largest South Asian gala, in support of Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital (OTMH). On September 14, more than 500 guests will enjoy a royal evening as Oakville Diwali presents Rang Mahal, a Palace of Colours at the Lakeshore Convention Centre in Mississauga.

Diwali, the festival of lights and joy, is celebrated by millions all around the world. Culturally and spiritually rooted within the South Asian community, its signifies the victory of light over darkness, good over evil, knowledge of ignorance, and hope over despair.

“The 2018 Oakville Diwali Gala promises an array of razzmatazz entertainment. Activities include both a silent and live auction, cause-within-a-cause, a magician, exclusive raffles, live music, DJ, dancing and more. This event features a gourmet dinner and an open bar,” says event chair Rekha Sharma

This year’s event will directly benefit the expansion of OTMH’s surgical unit. More equipment, more surgeons and a new operating room are the reasons why Oakville Hospital Foundation has launched a $3 million campaign to expand and enhance the hospital’s surgical department. It is the foundation’s largest campaign since the hospital opened in 2015.  The campaign will fund 77 pieces of surgical equipment and outfit a 10th operating room set to open this year.

Starting at 6:30 p.m. until midnight, tickets for the gala are $225 each.
