“My Big Fat Greek Fundraiser 6” raises $120,000 for the Miriam Foundation

—

GFF-23

The Miriam Foundation is pleased to announce that “My Big Fat Greek Fundraiser”, chaired by Linda Smith and hosted at renowned Montreal restaurant Estiatorio Milos, raised close to $120,000 for the Foundation. The event, now in its sixth edition and held this year on May 7th, brought together 200 participants, and further built on the incredible success that this event has seen year over year.

 

Guests were greeted by photos on the red carpet, enjoyed an incredible assortment of food and drink courtesy of Estiatorio Milos, and enjoyed a night of entertainment, provided by the incomparable Michelle Sweeney and DJ Yo-C. An exciting live auction brought in additional funds thanks to donated artwork from Galerie 203.

 

This fundraising event is of great importance for the Miriam Foundation, which raises funds to support the development of subsidized clinical services, innovative intervention programs and adapted activities. Miriam offers comprehensive, meaningful support to individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and intellectual disabilities (ID), at all stages of life. Funds raised through this and other fundraising activities allow the foundation to offer hope, resources, strategies, education, inclusive spaces, creative expression, and community to over 500 individuals, and their families, every year.

 

Miriam Foundation’s President & CEO, Warren Greenstone, is extremely proud of the success of the evening and the growth of this event. “The was that this community comes together in support of our mission each year, and the tireless efforts of Linda Smith and her committee in raising both awareness and funds, touches us deeply. Every day, we are fortunate to see firsthand the impact that donations have on our clients with ASD or ID, and their families. The funds raised this evening will allow us to continue to meet their unique needs at all ages."

 

Event founder and chair Linda Smith added “It has been an honour to raise money for such an important cause. The Miriam Foundation helps so many families, and I am thrilled to play some small part in that with this event and to collaborate with such gracious hosts as the team at Milos.”

 

The Miriam Foundation is immensely grateful to Linda Smith, committee members Susan Alper, Sylvie Amar, Corinne Asseraf, Simone Elfassy, Lydia Mamane, and Jennifer Silver. Deep appreciation also goes to the event sponsors Nour Private Wealth, Mitzi & Mel Dobrin Family Foundation, Hillrose Holding Ltd., Lydia Mamane & Family, Freda Applebaum, and Leslie & Alexandra Wexelman, whose generosity helped ensure the success of this evening.
