Canada’s First Female Astronaut coming to Red Deer for Health Fundraiser
From the Red Deer Regional Health Foundation
The world’s first neurologist in space is coming to Red Deer
The Red Deer Hospital fundraiser also features comedians from CBC Radio’s “The Debaters”
Red Deer Regional Health Foundation is pleased to announce a new event, The Lunch Box Experience, featuring three of Canada’s brightest stars, all coming together over lunch to raise funds for critical equipment for Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre.
Dr. Roberta Bondar, Canada’s first female astronaut and first neurologist in space, will be the keynote speaker on Monday, September 23, 2019 at Cambridge Red Deer Hotel & Conference Centre. To motivate and inspire audiences, Dr. Bondar draws on her remarkable depth of expertise as an astronaut, physician, scientific researcher, author, and leader.
This is Dr. Bondar’s first visit to Central Alberta, and may be your only chance to experience this extraordinary woman in person.
Also performing are Erica Sigurdson and Dave Hemstad, comedians both regularly featured on CBC Radio’s smash hit The Debaters. After lunch you’ll enjoy hysterical standup from both Erica and Dave, plus an episode of witty debater-style banter that will have you in stitches!
Tickets are $125 per person or table of 6 for $700; includes a unique lunch and are available now.
The Lunch Box Experience, formally part of the Red Deer Festival of Trees event line-up (Festival Business Lunch) is a fresh, new business networking opportunity.
Proceeds from this event will go towards ceiling-mounted patient lifts at Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre.
