A new era of discovery is upon us.

Inspired by the brilliance and beauty of the Renaissance, we are excited for you to join us at our family-friendly, black-tie holiday event of the season in support of kids and families who rely on care at the Alberta Children’s Hospital. Wisdom passed down for generations, knowledge transformed into technology and the convergence of art and science have led us here: the future is now. It’s time to turn the page and, together, write the next chapter in child health — gentler treatments, precision medicine and better, faster answers for every family.
