INVESCO Trimark added to list of big contributors
October 7, 2008
A cheque in the amount of $250 was couriered to the offices of JDRF today. It was from INVESCO Trimark and it was in support of our M4AC fundraiser for the charity.
The donation was secured through Allen Teska, Regional Sales Associate at INVESCO Trimark, and marks their largest donation to date towards our fundraiser.
The mutual fund industry continues to be a strong JDRF supporter as they participate in diabetes research events such as "The Walk" and "The Ride" every year. Last year, over 300 enthusiastic and high-energy riders from seven mutual
funds companies took part in The Ride for Diabetes Research Mutual Fund Challenge held at Nathan Phillips
raising a total of $110,000.
"We're delighted that the mutual fund industry has taken the cause of
juvenile diabetes to heart and has been committed to raising awareness and
funds for the Ride for Diabetes Research over the years," said JDRF Canada
President and CEO Andrew McKee.
