November 9, 2021, BRAMPTON – William Osler Health System Foundation (Osler Foundation) is excited to announce Osler Foundation’s Awesome Auction, in support of COVID-19 pandemic recovery across William Osler Health System (Osler) hospitals.

The online auction—the first of its kind for Osler Foundation—will go live on November 24 and feature fabulous items in categories like Fashion & Beauty, Sports, Home & Décor and more. Bidding will close on December 3—just in time to take care of your holiday shopping!

“This is a crucial time to step up for local health care, as our hospitals work to build back from the pandemic,” said Ken Mayhew, President & CEO, William Osler Health System Foundation. “We’re thrilled to present the Awesome Auction as a fun way for our community to support Osler’s pandemic recovery while treating themselves or someone close to them with a unique gift or experience.”

Osler Foundation’s Awesome Auction will benefit the Build Back, Together campaign, which aims to raise $10 million to help Osler hospitals, and the entire community, build back from the pandemic—better, stronger, and together. All equipment in a hospital must be funded by the community. Funds raised will purchase essential items such as surgical tables, anesthesia gas machines, and other surgical equipment such as laparoscopes and camera heads, and AV surgical integration systems to help meet increased demand and replace aging equipment.

Osler Foundation’s Awesome Auction is made possible with generous support from Presenting Sponsor LiUNA! Local 183, Gold Sponsors Armour Insurance Brokers Ltd.; Borden, Ladner, Gervais; Sodexo Canada and S. Robinson and Associates of RBC Dominion Securities.
