2017 Annual Report

“Support for a charitable cause should not change with business cycles,” says Conrad Frejlich, Harry Rosen Inc.’s Executive Vice President & Chief Financial Officer. “Selecting a corporate cause should be a reasoned strategy and long-term commitment to making an impact contribution.” Larry Rosen and Conrad Frejlich both recall precisely when cancer research emerged as “an area of unanimous concern” for their company. In 2000, the previous CEO of Harry Rosen was diagnosed with and died of pancreatic cancer in the span of 5 months. That same year, the organization entered into a partnership with Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, and has since raised millions of dollars for cancer research. Since 2014, Harry Rosen has taken the lead as presenting sponsor of the Golf to Conquer Cancer event - Canada’s top grossing single day golf fundraiser for cancer research. This year, 208 golfers were joined by PGA of Ontario professionals in a scramble tournament that raised over $4.7 million since 2014, including the event on June 12, 2017. The Princess Margaret Lotteries, which have been running for 21 years, had another record year raising over $27.7 million net. “The Princess Margaret lotteries have been a significant and continuous source of funding for the research enterprise at Princess Margaret Cancer Centre,” says Christine Lasky, Vice President, Strategic Initiatives for The Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation. “This support has allowed The Princess Margaret to emerge as one of the top 5 cancer research centres in the world, by attracting and supporting world- leading scientists.” Harry Rosen’s corporate support with Golf to Conquer Cancer shows the Power of Partnership Princess Margaret Home Lotteries See Another Record Year Conrad Frejlich , Executive VP & CFO, Harry Rosen Inc. and Larry Rosen , Chairman and CEO Harry Rosen Inc.
