We roller skated and boogied to the best disco music, raising money and had lots of fun at Groove And Give. 

A big thank you to the students in the events management program at Humber College for approaching our fundraising campaign as their charity partner for this fantastic event.

$3100 was raised and will be divided between a scholarship fund for this Humber program and towards programs and services for brain tumour patients at the Odette Cancer Centre at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre. 

If you are hosting a fundraiser and looking to partner with a charity, please reach out to us at [email protected]

How our funds have been distributed so far

The Adam Fanaki Brain Fund raised over $275,000 to help charities that support brain tumour patients and caregivers.

These are the organizations that have benefited from our financial contributions: 
  • The Brain Tumour Foundation Of Canada in the creation of a first of its kind mobile app for brain tumour patients and caregivers; continuing to print and distribute Patient and Caregiver Handbooks; run virtual support programs during the pandemic.
  • The Odette Cancer Centre at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre - a compassion fund has been established for brain tumour patients and caregivers who require financial assistance with items like transportation to medical appointments, meals and other daily necessities.
  • St. Michael's Hospital Department of Neurosurgery - towards a Comfort Fund as well as to the 3 Wishes program for those facing financial hardship. The Comfort Fund covers the costs for parking, public transportation, food gift cards and eyeglasses. The 3 Wishes program enables families to recognize the end of life of a loved one.  
  • Sick Kids Hospital - a large donation was made to the Photo Art Therapy program as well as Sibling and Patient Support programs. 
​
Our mission is to help patients and their caregivers in a personal way - to let them know that they are not alone in this experience.
