Meeting the health challenges of the 21st century

 

This year, we began an exciting and challenging chapter in our storied history. - A message from Dr. William Reichman, President and Chief Executive Officer, and Dr. Dr. Anthony Melman, Chair, Board of Directors

At Baycrest, we have taken great pride in our international reputation for innovations in aging. Thanks to an amazing year in fundraising, it is clear the world is relying more on Baycrest and the Baycrest Foundation than ever before.

Ronald Appleby, Q.C., Chair, Foundation Board of Directors and Mark Gryfe, President, Baycrest FoundationIn the last year alone, we have seen our donations skyrocket, with gifts pouring in from over 24,000 donors here in Toronto and around the globe. We can now count donations from 30 countries, including such far off places as Germany, Japan, New Zealand and Hong Kong. And on this continent, we can include 43 U.S. states, and every Canadian province and territory.

This unprecedented level of support clearly demonstrates the growing role Baycrest plays on the world stage. But equally important, it shows how crucial it is for Baycrest, and our donors, to continue leading the way in securing a better, brighter future for each of us as we age.

This enormous success would not have been possible without the steadfast commitment and dedication of our supporters—our cherished donors, volunteers and friends. It is thanks to you and your extraordinary vision that Baycrest can enrich the quality of life of today’s elderly, while planning for the growing seniors’ population of tomorrow.

Thank you for all that you have done, and for all that you continue to do.
