EVENTS
Join the Calgary Health Foundation on Saturday, October 3rd for Cirque Chic, Calgary’s most captivating charitable fashion event, where the glamour of the runway meets the magic of the circus, all in support of babies and families cared for in Calgary’s Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs).
The NICU Fashion Show has become one of the most powerful expressions of our community’s support for families during some of the most challenging moments of their lives. Funds raised through Cirque Chic help provide advanced technology, specialized equipment, and family-centred supports that give our tiniest patients the best possible start.
Southern Alberta sees a significant number of critically ill and premature babies who require specialized NICU care. When babies arrive too sick, too soon, or too small, they are transferred to the highly specialized perinatal care team at Foothills Medical Centre, where every moment matters.
As the need for specialized neonatal care continues to grow, hospitals must be equipped with leading-edge technology and resources to care for these tiny, vulnerable patients and the families by their side.
Funds raised through Cirque Chic will directly support Calgary’s NICUs – helping our littlest Calgarians survive, thrive, and begin their lives with the strongest possible start.
Get ready for an unforgettable evening of Italian wine, incredible food, spirited bidding and even better company.

And while the evening is all about celebrating, it’s also about creating a healthier future. In 2027, GIWE will support the Klassen Bellusci Precision Kidney Clinic, helping drive innovation and advance patient care for generations to come.
