The ONE LIFE Gala, in support of the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, raised more than $460,000 to fund research toward the early detection of cancer. This was the second such annual event, presented by CI Assante Wealth Management Circle of Giving Advisors, and chaired by Tina Tehranchian, senior wealth advisor at Assante Capital Management Ltd. The sold-out event on October 21 was attended by more than 300 guests at the Royal York Hotel. It featured addresses by three prominent cancer survivors, including Jeanne Beker, Susan Hodkinson and Peter Shier, as well as by grateful patient and cancer survivor Jenny Young.
The Princess Margaret Cancer Centre treats more than 200 different cancers, including some of the rarest and most aggressive ones, and is one of the top 5 cancer research centres in the world.
