Saturday, May 30, 2026 brought the Louise Marshall Hospital Foundation's 6th Annual Gala, A Masquerade Ball, to the Mount Forest & District Sports Complex. When the doors opened for cocktail hour at 4:30pm, guests were met with our traditional champagne welcome, and an opulent, candle-lit venue fit for an for a decadent evening of fun and fundraising, all in support of Louise Marshall Hospital. 

This year, the Foundation set a goal to raise $150,00 in support of a new ultrasound machine for the Diagnostic Imaging department at LMH, with a secondary goal to fund new vital signs monitors to refresh the hospital's current fleet. We are excited to share that -  together - we met our target, raising more than $153,000 towards the purchase of this equipment. 

It is only with the unparalleled support from our community that this success was made possible. We are so grateful for the many contributions of our guests, sponsors and donors, as well as our vendors and volunteers, that helped to bring this year's Gala to life. Thank you for all you do - both to support our local hospital and to lift our community.

We would like to extend an extra special thank you to our Gala Committee, for all their hard work in planning and preparing for this event. Your vision and creativity are what makes the Gala possible, and we're excited to see what next year brings!

Our work here isn't done though - we chose a BIG project to support with Gala proceeds - and the actual price tag attached to this equipment is $250,000. If you would like to make a donation in support of a new ultrasound for Louise Marshall Hospital, please click here!

In the meantime, please save the date for the Mount Forest Louise Marshall Hospital Foundation's 7th Annual Gala, Night on the Nile, scheduled for June 12, 2027!!
