Leaders of Canada’s alternative investment industry and their guests will gather on Tuesday, October 23 for the ninth annual Open Your Hearts to the Children Gala, a special fundraising evening organized by Hedge Funds Care Canada.
Hedge Funds Care Canada president and director Corey Goldman said that all proceeds from the event will go to support local and national foundations that support the prevention and treatment of child abuse. To date, he noted, Hedge Funds Care Canada has raised more than $1 million in support of this worthwhile cause.
“Times continue to be challenging for all those in the investment industry, yet support of Hedge Funds Care has continued to grow,” he notes.
“The response to the gala and the cause it supports has once again been tremendous, which is particularly important in these still-challenging times,” says Paul Patterson of IAM Group who, along with June-Anne Reid of Scotia Capital and Claire Van Wyk of Arrow Capital Management, is serving as co-chair of this year’s event.
“Our efforts would not be possible without the incredible support and generosity of our sponsors, including lead sponsor Sprott Asset Management as well as Arrow Capital Management, Polar Securities, MAN Investments, Scotia Capital, Marret Asset Management, and many others,” Patterson says.
The event will be held at Spice Route, 499 King Street West in Toronto.
Hedge Funds Care Canada was established in 2004 as a way for the Canadian hedge fund community to give back to organizations that provide prevention services to children and families who are at risk of abuse and/or neglect, and treatment to children who have been victims of abuse.
