The University of Alberta Medical Students present:

an affair of the heart

BANQUET | FASHION SHOW | SILENT AUCTION

On Saturday October 3, 2009, the University of Alberta medical students held their 2nd annual fundraiser for Save a Child’s Heart at the Fantasyland Hotel in Edmonton, AB. This black-tie event, called An Affair of the Heart, featured a banquet, fashion show and silent auction which included medical students and faculty members strutting their stuff down the runway. The University of Alberta medical class jazz band and choir each delighted the audience with their performances. With 245 people in attendance and more than 60 silent auction items, we were able to raise almost $8000!

We would like to thank Dr. Tommy Gerschman for giving a wonderful keynote presentation that portrayed the mission of Save a Child’s Heart. We would also like to thank the adult and paediatric cardiology departments at the University of Alberta hospital for their generous support in addition to our many wonderful sponsors. Without their help, this event would not have been possible!
