Ten spectacular West Island women donated $10,000 each to West Island Community Shares (WICS) to participate in their event to end all events. Their $100,000 contribution represents much-needed support for the 41 community organizations that rely on WICS each year.

The line up includes; Brigitte Garceau, Lawyer and Senior Partner, Robinson Sheppard Shapiro, Chantal Carrier, philanthropist, Eva Chalkiadakis, Development Manager, Small Business, Scotiabank, Lolita Guerrera, Vice-president, Commercial Markets/Retail, Consumer Services/Franchises, RBC, Frederica Jones, Regional Vice-President, West Island of Montreal, BMO, Roberta Lacey, Head of Marketing, Avon Canada, Teresa Broccolini, Director Property Management at Broccolini, Anna Mormina and Angela Martingnetti, Co-owners, Mfleurs and Rhonda O’Gallagher, Vice-President, Corporate Affairs, Pfizer Canada.
“Our ultimate goal is to have ten influential businesswomen give back $10,000 each to Community Shares as a statement of their endorsement to the wellbeing of our friends & neighbours,” read the WICS invite to participate. Â
