The 3rd annual Lunch
with Margaret & George
presented by BMO Financial
took place recently at the AGO
featuring designer Altuzarra.
Co-Chairs Lisa and George Corbo
and Honorary Patron
Emmanuelle Gattuso and
their dedicated committee
raised more than $200,000 to
benefit Personalized Cancer
Medicine at Princess Margaret
Cancer Centre.
This amount was matched by an anonymous donor which allowed
Princess Margaret Cancer Centre to purchase as Fluigidm Access
Array machine to sequence genes for breast cancer mutations to
ensure the best treatment possible.
The glittery lunch was the reflection of 11 crystal chandeliers and
crystal centerpieces sparkling in the room. Guests watched artist
Carlos Delgado paint during lunch and one lucky guest took
home his work. A Zagliani purse donated by George C. and
diamond earrings donated by Myles Mindham were the top prizes
– and guests enjoyed Believe It make up – mascara and
gold powder especially created for the event.
Nada Ristich of BMO Financial was the presenting sponsor.
Interac, Burgundy Asset Management and Emmanuelle
Gattuso were this year’s Gold Sponsors. Designer sponsor
once again was The Rosen Family Foundation. Civello /
Aveda provided all the hair and makeup for the models.
Guests include Ken Jesudian and Jessica Coronios of
Burgundy Asset Management, Cat Fidani, Melissa Martin
of Telus, Dina Iezzi of Therapure BioPharma, Peta and Sean
Boyd, Donna Slaight, the Policaro Auto Family, Katherine
Newman, Melanie McCaig, John and Sheri Munro.
