Family Summer Day Event ☀️
We’re excited to host our upcoming Family Summer Day—an afternoon filled with food trucks, live music, face painting, local vendors, sports and games, and a 1K Kids Fun Run with participation medals for all runners. It’s the perfect way to kick off summer before school ends, bringing together families, friends, and the local community for a day of fun and connection.
Each ticket includes a complimentary ice cream, and a portion of proceeds will be donated to the Mazankowski Alberta Heart Institute.
Join us in celebrating community, summer, and giving back!

About the Charity
The University Hospital foundation was created in 1962 by an act in the Alberta legislature. In the decades since, we have evolved into one of the most successful hospital fundraising organizations in Canada. We raise funds to advance patient care and innovation at the University of Alberta Hospital, The Mazankowski Alberta Heart Institute and the Kaye Edmonton Clinic.
Funds raised by the Realty Focus Summer Bash will support the Maz Innovation Fund, ensuring the Mazankowski Alberta Heart Institute remains a world-class cardiac centre for years to come. Support of this fund will lead to advancement of clinical programs, quality improvement, the purchase of new equipment, and research, in order to support developements in cardiac care, such as minimally invasive approaches.
This fund has already supported initiatives like:
- Surgical procedure to remove blood clots blocking the arteries carrying blood to the lungs, improving oxygen levels (1 of only 2 programs in Canada!)
- Virtual cardiac rehabilitation for patents unable to attend in-person programs.
- After a successful pilot program, proving the safety and effectiveness of Ev-Vivo equipment to essentially keep lungs ‘alive’ outside the body.
