The day’s proceeds will go to a trust fund that has been set up through the RBC (Royal Bank of Canada)
that will provide funds for Gino’s medical care and support for his family. Any additional funds will go
towards a foundation created in Gino’s name whose purpose is to further the education, athletic
development, and empowerment of Aboriginal youth in Canada.
