2018 Honour Roll (part 2 of 2)

Page 1

Community Circle

Members of our Community Circle have been consistent in their annual support, giving $50,000 or more cumulatively to United Way since 1990. Their contributions come as direct donations to United Way Greater Toronto, funded agencies, targeted gifts, our endowment—The Tomorrow Fund™—and United Ways across Canada. Their generosity is helping us tackle local poverty and related #UNIGNORABLE issues including homelessness, unemployment and social isolation.

All Community Circle members are recognized on United Way’s Honour Roll, which can be found at unitedwaygt.org. Those whose giving has exceeded $100,000 are listed in the following pages.

In Memoriam STEPHEN PRIME

Stephen Prime always found a way to give back. Playing violin for palliative care patients at Dorothy Ley Hospice in Etobicoke, becoming a community hockey coach, and fundraising through his workplace campaign to help strengthen the community he loved. During a rewarding 30-year career at RBC, he was introduced to United Way’s work helping to give everyone the opportunities they need to succeed. Joining him in his love for community was Mary, his wife of 40 years, and their three children. The family’s involvement with their community inspired them to help individuals in need, including supporting a Syrian refugee family through their church, an experience that brought them great joy. Stephen is remembered as a mentor to many and will be missed by all those whose lives he touched.

“My family inspires me to support my community. My wife, Sandra, has made giving back a central part of her life, and I am constantly inspired by her kindness. My children inspire me to make the world a better place for the next generation. Working with United Way has opened my eyes to the impact poverty has on youth. If we can ensure that every child is able to flourish, both at home and in school, not only would it make their lives better, the benefits to our community and our country would be incalculable.”

MOTI JUNGREIS

“When my family first arrived in Toronto, my mother became a foster parent, taking in two or three kids at a time. I quickly learned how these children were impacted by the issues their parents faced. My experiences with them, and my mother’s incredible generosity, has inspired me to work with United Way to ensure single mothers and struggling families in our community get the support they need to thrive. Years later, we still keep with some of the kids my mother fostered. Their bravery inspires me to continue to invest in youth in our community.”

The Tomorrow Fund™

While many of today’s social challenges will be won, others will persist, and new ones will emerge. Contributions to United Way’s endowment, The Tomorrow Fund™, ensure stable and ongoing funding for our network of community agencies, which will meet these challenges. Gifts to The Tomorrow Fund extend an individual’s commitment through an enduring legacy.

We thank the following donors for their contribution to The Tomorrow Fund—a show of local love that demonstrates a commitment to the future of our entire community.

Samantha (right) shows her local love by volunteering with young newcomers. Thanks to support from donors like you, she’s ensuring kids like Nuhaa (left) thrive in their new home.

IN MEMORIAM JALYNN BENNETT

JALYNN H. BENNETT FOUNDATION

Jalynn Bennett loved the lighthouses of Nova Scotia. The born-and-raised Torontonian had first become enamoured with the stately wayfinders during trips to her cottage in Lunenburg, N.S. To Jalynn, the lighthouses were not just a part of the community’s heritage, they were also beacons of hope, and a source of inspiration and connection. They were an important symbol to Jalynn. Like the lighthouses, she wanted to guide her community forward— and she spent much of her life doing so.

Rallying around a cause was built into Jalynn’s DNA—and this included her long-time support of United Way. She was particularly passionate about equity and opportunity for all. She understood the complex issues facing the GTA, and the very real barriers that were holding people back. As part of her legacy, Jalynn wanted to empower some of our community’s most vulnerable people and families to build brighter futures for themselves. After she passed away in 2015, the Jalynn H. Bennett Social Change Fund was established through a transformational gift from the Jalynn H. Bennett Foundation. The fund fuels critical research and public policy development, and supports United Way’s network of community agencies as they develop and implement new projects. The gift was emblematic of Jalynn’s collaborative approach—and her commitment to engage with her community in innovative ways.

She was also a trailblazer. During the 1970s and ‘80s, when few women were making it to the

top of the corporate ladder, Jalynn became a respected voice as an executive and board member, paving the way for future generations of female leaders. She often spoke about the barriers she faced as a woman in the workplace. Experiences throughout her long career showed Jalynn that barriers weren’t something you could just wish away—they took individual and collective action to overcome.

A long-time mentor, Jalynn knew how valuable the support of a community could be. She offered her advice and guidance to many women over the years and worked hard to champion those who were rarely offered the opportunity to succeed.

This change-making legacy wasn’t restricted to her professional life. Jalynn was also a visionary voice in philanthropy who challenged the many organizations she worked with to be “bold, audacious and effective”. She offered her expertise and generosity to organizations big and small, including United Way, where she was a senior volunteer on the Major Individual Giving Cabinet for many years, and many charities that helped animals, especially dogs. A lifelong learner, she was always finding a new aspect of her community to explore and support.

Described as a “doer” who never rested on her laurels, it’s fitting that even after her passing, Jalynn will continue to be a driver of change in Greater Toronto—and beyond.
