On Wednesday, December 11, 2013, representatives from the Association presented a check for $15,846 to the Fonds d’enseignement et de recherche en Hématologie et oncologie médicale de l’Hôpital Maisonneuve-Rosemont.

The money was raised during the Association’s annual fundraising banquet – Cavatelli fatti con cuore alla Castelgrandese – on Sunday, November 10, 2013. Over 300 guests and 50 volunteers helped make the event a success. This year’s banquet was in honor of longtime Association member Frank Ruvo.
