‘The No. 1 thing to remember is that there’s hope’: Philanthropists reflect on Casey House and its role in the fight against HIV/AIDS
Four decades ago, journalist and social activist June Callwood and Margaret McBurney, also a writer and activist, helped volunteers to register and incorporate Casey House as a charity. At the time, it was Canada’s only standalone hospice for people dying of AIDS—a milestone in giving compassion and dignity to people facing a disease that by the end of the 1980s had killed at least 60,000 in Canada and the U.S.
Today, the struggle continues. HIV/AIDS has not gone away. And the ongoing reality of HIV/AIDS in Canadian society amid a general decline in fund-raising makes the work of Casey House—now an HIV specialty hospital—all the more important today. And it could not do that work without the commitment of the philanthropic community.
In this article, four prominent donors to Casey House share their reasons for supporting the world-renowned hospital.

BULLWEALTH’s Randy Gunn: ‘If you do it right, you become an extension of your client’s family’
Working in wealth management “can make a difference in people’s lives.” It’s a message industry veteran Randy Gunn wants to amplify.
The CFA charterholder and longstanding member of the CFA Society Toronto has done exactly that throughout a career working with Canada’s ultra-high-net-worth families. “Our industry is very opaque. Most people don’t understand their investments,” says Gunn, vice-president and portfolio manager at BULLWEALTH, an integrated wealth advisory and consulting firm. “We try to bring transparency to it. Part of that is understanding performance, but it’s also about understanding risk-return metrics.”
