Hedge Funds Care Canada’s Open Your Hearts to the Children Gala has raised $200,000 for the prevention and treatment of child abuse.
This brings the amount raised to date to more than $1.1 million.
More than 200 Canadian hedge fund industry professionals and their guests attended the special fundraising event on Oct. 23 in Toronto. It was the 10th annual such event organized by Hedge Funds Care Canada.
“Hedge Funds Care continues to make strides in raising both money and awareness to this very important cause,” says Hedge Funds Care Canada president and director Corey Goldman.
All of the funds raised through the Hedge Funds Care Canada gala are distributed through grants to local community-based organizations devoted to preventing child abuse. This is done through education, prevention, intervention, research, advocacy and training programs.
