Merry Christmas and Happy Chanukah to you and your families. I hope you’re spending this holiday season with the people you love the most. 

It’s hard to believe that the year is almost over. The good news is that the end of 2024 can only mean one thing: my annual pilgrimage on New Year’s Day to take the plunge into Lake Ontario is just around the corner!

On January 1, Henry and I will once again participate in the 2025 Polar Bear Dip in Toronto.

The best part? Hank and I are doing this to raise much-needed funds for Boost CYAC, an important organization where I volunteer as Chair of the Board of Directors. 

The Boost Child and Youth Advocacy Centre (CYAC) is a wonderful organization in Toronto that answers the call when a child or youth under 18 is the victim of sexual, physical, or emotional abuse. Boost CYAC provides direct services and support for child abuse victims all under one roof, from reporting the abuse to police, medical exam, therapy, court prep and support.

Any donation amount is welcome, and all donations are eligible for a 2024 tax receipt.
