“It means so much to have the renowned Barenaked Ladies playing our fundraiser. So many of us at the Royal Alexandra Hospital Foundation are enormous fans and we can’t wait for our donors and viewers to see the show—and hear a somewhat ‘customized’ set list, no less,” said Sharlene Rutherford, President and CEO of the Royal Alexandra Hospital Foundation. “It’s sure to be an entertaining and meaningful evening, celebrating advancements in women’s healthcare, enjoying a few classic Canadian tunes, and garnering more support for the Lois Hole Hospital.”
The Lois Hole Hospital is Alberta’s only hospital dedicated to women and has been a key centre of excellence for women’s healthcare in the province since its opening 11 years ago.
