November 28 – Toronto – Canada’s hedge fund industry rallied in support of the treatment and prevention of child maltreatment earlier this month, raising north of $200,000 for Toronto-based foundations that help prevent child abuse and neglect at Hedge Funds Care Canada’s fourth annual gala.
More than 150 hedge fund industry professionals wined, dined and mingled at the Sutton Place Hotel’s exclusive Stop 33 top-floor lounge in support of Hedge Funds Care Canada (HFCC), the country’s only philanthropy exclusively dedicated to the treatment and prevention of child abuse and neglect.
Bay Street, Bloor Street and visiting Wall Street hedge fund authorities took part in a first-rate gourmet-gala evening, tasting top-tier dishes and desserts prepared by the award-winning chefs of the Toronto-based Sutton Place, the headquarters of the Toronto International Film Festival.
One lucky guest walked away with a genuine one-carat custom-designed diamond pendant worth US$7,500, which was picked out among some 65 identical cubic zirconium pendants that guests had the option of purchasing in the “Diamond Rush” event hosted by Toronto jewelers Hofland Inspirations.
“That homeless person on the street begging for change, that woman who sleeps on a cardboard box on a grate, there is a very strong chance that those people were victims of child maltreatment,” University of Toronto Professor and academic consultant Marion Bogo told attendees. “The programs that your money helps fund helps prevent maltreatment at its earliest stages, which in turn helps these people and helps our society overall.”
“The Canadian hedge fund industry is particularly devoted to philanthropic causes, and this cause resonates,” says Corey Goldman, President of Hedge Funds Care Canada and North America Editor of London- and New York-based hedge fund magazine HFMWeek. “Child abuse and neglect is easily preventable, and there is no reason that any child, in Canada or anywhere in the world, should be exposed to trauma, maltreatment or neglect.”
