Local lawyer and owner of Kipling Plaza, Jerry Faivish, knows how to mark a day!  On August 08, every family who had a new baby arrive at Etobicoke General Hospital received a basket courtesy of the retailers at Kipling Plaza.  For every baby born during those 24 hours, Mr. Faivish donated $100 to the hospital.  As well, twelve lucky shoppers at the plaza’s Kipling Avenue (north of Rexdale Boulevard) location won gift certificates from the mall’s newest shop: Giant Tiger.  To top it all off, Mr. Faivish stopped by Foundation offices in September to present a cheque for $1,200. 

Over 200 people were out to the inaugural CIBC Care 2 Walk event at Humber Arboretum.  The morning was lovely and participants were positive and excited about helping Etobicoke General Hospital.

As part of the festivities, Larry Tomei, Sr. VP with CIBC, announced CIBC's $1m campaign support and the naming of the CIBC Breast Care Services at BCH, along with a dedication opportunity at EGH in the same area.  The crowd celebrated all of the local CIBC activities, including the walk and numerous branch BBQs, which have resulted in over $18,000 raised to date!

The Etobicoke Invitational was set apart by the fabulous venue of Islington Golf Course, exceptionally fair weather and a wonderful mix of donors and friends.  A special thanks to Downsview Kitchens, Draeger Medical, English & Mould Mechanical Contractors, Summit Ford and Woodbine Entertainment for sponsoring the event.
