Illuminate: A Diwali Celebration

We are absolutely thrilled to announce that, together, we raised an incredible $760,000 at Illuminate: A Diwali Celebration on Thursday, October 24th at Paramount Eventspace. The night was filled with unforgettable moments, from the electrifying performance by the legendary Jazzy B and Frequency Entertainment to the vibrant hosting by our superstar emcee, Priyanka. The crowd was also captivated by the talents of YASSiN & Sean Terrio, and Sanjina, making it an evening to remember.

Funds raised from this event will play a pivotal role in advancing critical initiatives at Humber River Health, including the invaluable work of our Schulich Family Medicine Teaching Unit (Schulich FMTU). With your help, the Schulich FMTU is on track to serve over 9,000 new patients by 2026. Your generosity fuels their mission, ensuring that healthcare not only lives but thrives at Humber—for everyone.

We want to thank our generous donors, sponsors, volunteers, entertainers, and attendees for making this event a shining success. See you next year at Illuminate: A Diwali Celebration 2025!

Help us Revolutionize Healthcare

Humber River Health is working every day to light new ways in healthcare, and without our generous supporters, this work would not be possible. Caring for the underserved residents of North West Toronto across three sites, we are proud to have built a reputation as a trusted and innovative health services provider through our focus on patient and family-centered care.

In 2015 we opened North America’s most digital hospital, home to healthcare innovations including Canada’s first hospital Command Centre. We are committed to combining clinical expertise and technology to provide the best care possible; not only for our patients but also as a model for how we can transform care across the country.
