Charity of Choice:
Heart and Stroke
Foundation of Manitoba
Sons of Italy, Garibaldi Lodge was pleased to have the
Heart and Stroke Foundation of Manitoba as our Charity of Choice for the 25th Annual Gala Dinner.
The Heart and Stroke Foundation of Manitoba (HSFM) does a tremendous amount of work in our community in terms of research, education, prevention and support.
While most people know of someone in their family or circle of friends affected by heart disease or stroke, the true effect of heart disease and stroke on our community is often a surprise.
The video on the right, prepared especially for our gala dinner, will give you more insight into the HSFM.
Sons of Italy, along with our title sponsors, CIBC, were proud to be able to present to Heart and Stroke Foundation of Manitoba, a cheque for $80,000 at our gala on March 19, 2011.
In the cheque presentation picture (L to R): Tom DeNardi, Franco Petrelli, Monique Gravel, Frank Sottana, Frank Fiorentino, Debbie Brown, Wendy Bulloch, John Giavedoni, Justin Bova.
Below, is an ad placed by the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Manitoba in the Winnipeg Free Press on Saturday April 16th thanking Sons of Italy for our very generous donation. They have also thanked us on their
website.
In response, we would like to thank the dedicated group of people at this outstanding charity that are working so hard to help rid our community of the devistating effects of heart disease and stroke.
