It was a pretty big undertaking. I started last June and was involved in many aspects, from strategy and fundraising to helping create the website. I wanted to do well by the hospital. The Friday night event was such a good party and there was a real buzz on Saturday. Everyone was having fun getting up close and personal with the celebrities and taking lots of photos. I was happy that the way I pitched the experience last fall is exactly how it turned out. Everyone walked away from the weekend feeling super satisfied. And we raised $600,000, beating our target by 50 per cent. I was proud that the folks at Raymond James, where I work as Managing Director and Principal Officer, contributed more than $100,000 in total. Dan Simunac with his wife, Nicole Simunac
