ABOUT THE GERRY & NANCY PENCER BRAIN TRUST
On May 23, 1997 Gerry Pencer was diagnosed with a grade 4 glioblastoma multiform
brain tumor. During the course of his illness, Gerry sought information and treatment
options that were not readily available. Being a pro-active person, he thought something
should be done about this for others suffering from the same disease. As a result, Gerry
transformed his devastating diagnosis into The Gerry and Nancy Pencer Brain Trust,
a charity organization with a mandate to make a difference in the quality of life for
People living with brain tumors. Many years later, The Pencer Brain Trust is the
primary source of funding for The Gerry and Nancy Pencer Brain Tumor Centre at the
Princess Margaret Hospital.
This event would not have been possible without the incredible dedication of the
Gala Committee comprised of co-chairs Stacy Cynamon and Holly Pencer Bellman
along with Honorary Chair Nancy Pencer. In just eight years, this annual 'grassroots'
fund-raiser has evolved as one of the most creative and respected galas in Toronto
each spring. More than 1,000 people attended NOIR and the night generated
upwards of $600,000 for this worthy cause. To donate or for more information on this event or
