A magical collection of wizards and centaurs, owls and lions, and other enchanting individuals and creatures gathered Saturday evening and raised $300,732 to help transform surgical care at Royal University Hospital.
The assembled converged on Royal University Hospital Foundation’s Royal Wizard’s Chronicle Ball: Harry visits Narnia presented by Nutrien to show their support for Foundation’s Mission Possible: Operation New O.R. campaign. A special thank you to Nutrien for matching all event proceeds in the amount of $150,000!
