TRREB Members, Rick Lew and Shirley Cheng, are forever grateful to Markham Stouffville Hospital (MSH) and Oak Valley Health for the unparalleled care their daughter received when she was born prematurely. To express their deep gratitude, they orchestrated a once-in-a-lifetime experience for a young patient at MSH. Rick and Shirley are both huge hockey fans and wanted to provide the ultimate hockey experience for the patient’s birthday. They arrived with a replica Stanley cup and hockey inspired gifts including his favourite player’s jersey and a matching hat.

Rick and Shirley continued to carry on the goodwill and brought the replica Stanley cup to their daughter’s school after learning that the principal was a big Leaf’s fan. They hosted a photo opportunity with the cup along with a successful food drive for the Richmond Hill Food Bank. There’s no telling where the next stop will be on the cup’s tour as Rick and Shirley slapshot a little fun into creating in a brighter tomorrow.

REALTOR® Sue McLay started the annual “Fight Like a Girl” fundraiser in support of the Royal LePage Shelter Foundation. The foundation is dedicated exclusively to funding women’s shelters and domestic violence prevention. Last year, Sue raised $3,000 through her self-defence class. This year, they are on track to double that amount!

Sue’s team also works closely with the Pinball Clemons Foundation. In collaboration with community partners, they identify youth in need and provide mentorship as they pursue their post-secondary education. Sue’s team attends mentorship events and donates a portion of their commissions to the foundation. Most recently, they sponsored a boxer in the foundation’s Victory Gala boxing match with a donation goal of $5,000.
