Richard Crenian Participates in the 12th Annual Scotiabank Pro-Am Alzheimer Hockey Tournament

This past weekend, Richard Crenian, president of ReDev Properties Ltd. participated in the 12th Annual Scotiabank Pro-Am Hockey tournament for Alzheimer’s in support of Baycrest.

“I’m a big fan of hockey,” says Richard Crenian. “But I’m also passionate about using a sport to bring the community together to support an important cause, such as funding for Alzheimer’s research. That’s a big reason why I continuously support this tournament.”

The tournament is held in May each year and Crenian has regularly attended for the past decade. Participating teams drafted and were joined by 27 NHL Alumni players including Paul Coffey, Wendel Clark and Lanny McDonald.

Apart from joining in the annual hockey tournament, Crenian decided in 2015 to increase his dedication to the charity and established a Match My Gift Campaign to further support Baycrest in Alzheimer’s care and research. With the Match My Gift Campaign, every dollar a generous donor gives, Baycrest will receive double the donation through Crenian’s support.

“The more I learned about Baycrest, the more impressed I became with the organization and the donor community,” says Crenian. “I wanted to honour these donors by matching their generosity, and increasing our impact for the cause together.”

Crenian’s Match My Gift Campaign will again take place in fall 2017. Accept Richard’s challenge this year and double your generous impact.

The tournament raised over $1.5 million for Baycrest Health Sciences this year. Coming in as the runner up for the most funds raised individually, Richard Crenian fundraised over $59,000 to support the cause. The team he played with, The Coop Architects were also runners up for most funds raised as a team with over $113,000 donated.
