Grammy Award winner Frankie Valli entertains the crowd at the 2013 River Ball in support of Humber River Hospital.
Oh, what a night indeed. Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons came to town on May 9 as part of the River Gala, which helped raise $624,000 to build and equip the new Humber River Hospital (HRH). The revitalization is taking place at Keele Street and Wilson Avenue, and the result will be North America’s first fully digital hospital. “The leading-edge technology in the new hospital will be the tools that will enable us to provide high quality, safe care to our community,” Dr. Rueben Devlin, HRH president and CEO, told the 850 guests. The event, which was hosted by Paramount Conference & Event, also included the presentation of Humber River’s No Limits award to Frank Ciccolini Jr. for his dedicated and passionate volunteerism. “Frank has given selflessly of his time and energy to our hospital, and for this we are grateful. Humber River Hospital is a better place for his vision, passion and infectious enthusiasm,” said Heather Hurst, HRH foundation president and CEO. The River Ball’s recent success is part of the Hospital Foundation’s ultimate goal to raise $225 million for the new state-of-the-art hospital. (Rita Simonetta) PA N O R A M I TA L I A . C O M
