Each year the Richmond Hill branch of Assante Capital Management Ltd. helps raise funds for York Central Hospital by organizing the Joy of Aging event.

On Sunday, October 23rd 2011 over 350 women gathered at Copper Creek Golf Club to raise funds for York Central Hospital, learn about fitness and healthy aging, have fun and build new friendships.

The event was organized by financial advisors, Tina Tehranchian and Janine Purves and their team at the Richmond Hill Branch of Assante Capital Management Ltd.  Tracy Moore, the host of CityLine on Citytv was hosted the event.  The morning started with the beautiful sound of Dave McLaughlin's Saxophone.  This was followed by a speech by Vivian Risi, owner of Royal LePage Community Realty, director of York Central Hospital Foundation and the Platinum Presenting Sponsor of the event talking about her history of philanthropy and her special relationship with York Central Hospital.  Next, financial advisors, Tina Tehranchian and Janine Purves, also the Platinum Presenting Sponsors, delivered a fun and entertaining presentation about women and money followed by a money quiz.

Mysterion, the mind reader, dazzled and intrigued the audience with his ability to read minds. The keynote speaker, Susan Sommers, inspired the audience with her life story, recounting how she ran her first marathon at age 61 and her second marathon at age 63, and offered useful tips for women on fitness and staying in shape.  With the engaging and informative keynote speaker, fun activities, an energizing fitness break sponsored by Vive Pilates and interesting sponsor booths to visit, the morning proved to be enjoyable and entertaining for the attendees.

 The event helped raise $30,000 that will be used to fund 3 new and state of-the-art IV pumps for the hospital.
