15th Annual Day at the Races
On September 16, 2018 we were thrilled to hold our 15th annual fundraising event – welcoming Dr. Gideon Hirschfield, a world renowned expert in PBC, to the Toronto Centre for Liver Disease.  This year will again feature the famous Racing Buffet, with roast beef carving station, cash bar and a very special high stake horse race.  Our raffle/draw, 50/50 draw and kids auction proved popular – everyone loved the Fascinators!
See all the great photos.
