16 Years and Beyond of Doing Good

In January of 2009, the Gena Giansante Fundraiser was created to honour the memory of a beloved daughter of Fred Giansante and sister of Pina Memme. In 2005, Gena was diagnosed with Langerhan’s Cell Histiocytosis and sadly passed away from this rare disease in September 2006. Gena thrived in academics; generous with her talent and time, she often helped peers with their studies. She went on to graduate with an MBA from the Schulich School of Business. Her legacy lives on.

Brokers Trust has been honouring the memory of Gena for the past 15 years, with thousands donated to incoming female students, supporting the leadership of women. This is a fundraiser that we are extremely proud of and one that year over year we continue to bring to life.
