MARKHAM, ON (May 5, 2022) – On Saturday, May 14, Markham Stouffville Hospital Foundation’s Festival of Colours presented by RBC will celebrate the vibrant South Asian culture while raising money for child and adolescent mental health care at Oak Valley Health’s Markham Stouffville Hospital (MSH).
MSH Foundation is proud to partner once again with leaders from the South Asian community for an evening of scintillating entertainment and delicious Indian cuisine, with a featured performance by Bollywood singer Shradha Pandit.
Approximately 450 guests will gather to help destigmatize and shed light on mental health awareness in our diverse community.
