Harry Rosen and Prostate Cancer

At Harry Rosen, prostate cancer is our corporate cause and raising awareness about the issue is our priority.

fundraising

"Sadly, many people don't realize that prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men and the second most deadly, after lung cancer," ... "With this run, we hope to change that. Our goal is not only to get the message out about the disease and the need for early testing in men, but to raise as much money as possible for research, so we can find a cure and save lives. By participating in Harry's Spring Run-Off — or even by supporting someone who is running or walking — you can be part of the solution. So please, put on your running shoes, stretch those muscles and help us find a cure for prostate cancer."

— Larry Rosen, CEO Harry Rosen Inc.

"I ♥ High Park" Pancake Breakfast in support of High Park Nature Centre

High Park Nature Centre

The High Park Nature Centre is a community-based not-for-profit organization that instills awareness, understanding and respect for the natural world. Each year, we engage over 8,000 children, youth and adults in the stewardship of High Park's natural environment through hands-on outdoor education. From Family Nature Walks to Naturalist Clubs for Kids to curriculum-linked school field trips, our year-round programs inspire park visitors to develop closer connections with nature in the city and contribute to the protection of High Park's rare and significant ecosystem.

Approximately 55% of our annual budget is funded through program fees, and the balance is raised through fundraising and volunteer work. Please consider making a one-time or monthly donation today! Your support will help us to connect more children, youth and families with urban nature and help to preserve one of Toronto's most precious and fragile natural areas.
