Since its inception in 1997, the Gentle Ben Charity Challenge has raised over $1.6 million, all of which has gone to support several cancer research and support programs, with recent emphasis on supporting the ground breaking efforts of the McEwen Centre for Regenerative Medicine, based in Toronto.
The GBCC was named in honour of our father, Ben Pearl. We continue to celebrate his memory by raising funds to help battle the disease that took his life at an all too early age.
The real success story of the GBCC lies in the combined efforts of hundreds of loyal participants who have acted as “fundraising missionaries” on behalf of the GBCC over the past 24 years. Without them, the GBCC would not be what it is today.
Thanks to all for your continued support!
Michael and Steven Pearl
