Thank You for Making an Impact

We extend our deepest thanks to everyone who supported this year’s Ritz Gallery — our generous sponsors, donors, and attendees. Your contributions are not just appreciated; they are truly transformative.

Thanks to your support, the funds raised will directly contribute to the development of the Bernie and Beverley Zaifman Learning & Development Centre at McCormick Care Group — a bold step forward in addressing the growing challenges in dementia and long-term care due to Ontario’s aging population.

This state-of-the-art facility, beginning construction in March 2025, will feature a cutting-edge simulation lab and dynamic learning spaces designed to enhance training, foster collaboration, and strengthen partnerships across disciplines. It’s a key part of McCormick’s 2022–2025 Strategic Plan, focusing on investing in people and improving care quality.

Together, we are building a future with a more skilled, compassionate workforce — and advancing excellence in dementia and long-term care for generations to come.

Thank you for being part of this meaningful journey.

This transformative initiative is made possible through the vision and generosity of the late Bernie Zaifman, whose enduring commitment to his family, business, and community laid the groundwork for this meaningful legacy.

This year’s Ritz Gala offers a powerful opportunity to make a lasting difference. In honour of Bernie’s memory, Beverley Zaifman has generously committed to matching up to $175,000 of net revenue, effectively doubling the impact of every contribution.

Together, we can celebrate Bernie’s legacy, invest in the future of care, and help shape a compassionate and innovative approach to dementia and long-term care education.

With profound gratitude, we proudly announce Beverley Zaifman’s remarkable pledge to match up to $175 000 of the total net revenue from the Ritz Gala—including donations, ticket sales, sponsorships, and event purchases (less event expenses)—for the next three years!
