St-Boniface Hospital Foundation hosted a beautiful reception in the Research Centre atrium on September 19th. The reception was to thank Sons of Italy for the generous $100,000 donation to the Canadian Italian Tissue Engineering Laboratory (CITEL).
The reception featured delicious food and wine, followed by an amazing team of doctors who described the research that has started, what will follow, and how CITEL could be a game-changer in the field of heart repair. All were genuinely grateful for our hard work on the Gala and the resulting donation.
The evening ended with and unveiling of a plaque that will soon be mounted at the Winnipeg CITEL lab, designating the new name of the lab: the Sons of Italy Garibaldi Lodge Laboratory.
It was a proud evening for the many Sons of Italy members in attendance.
