It’s Time to Knock out Cancer! Featuring Humbertown Jewellers

The Fight To End Cancer (FTEC) team is honoured to receive the continued support of Humbertown Jewellers as our official Live Auction Presenting Partners!

Humbertown Jewellers has generously donated the OMEGA CONSTELLATION CO-AXIAL DAY-DATE 38 MM featured in the live auction at the 8th Annual Fight to End Cancer Gala.  They are known for providing their customers with an unsurpassed collection of fine jewellery and watches
Humbertown Jewellers cherishes their relationships with their clients, as well as the surrounding community.  They know that many people in the community have been directly affected by cancer, either personally or through a loved one, and want to give back to help find a cure.  Giving back is core to their beliefs and they are proud to have partnered with the Fight to End Cancer team.

Ferit Tecimer, Owner and President of Humbertown Jewellers, is well aware of the innovative and ground-breaking work the Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation continues to provide for all those directly affected by cancer.  His daughter is a family physician in the community and sees directly how important Princess Margaret’s services are for her patients.  His son in law is a research fellow at Princess Margaret in physics, which has allowed Ferit to gain a greater appreciation and understanding of Princess Margaret’s important role in new discoveries through its cutting edge research programs.
It wasn’t until he met with Jim Mosher though, owner of Landscape Plus Ltd. (FTEC’s presenting partner), that he was introduced to the Fight to End Cancer.  Ferit never thought he would be involved in anything related to boxing, but after Jim’s enthusiasm and his known commitment to doing everything “just right”, he decided to meet with Jennifer Huggins, founder of the Fight to End Cancer.  Ferit was inspired by her vision, her goals and her commitment to giving back to the community.  He knew right away that he would do whatever he could to help Jennifer “knock out cancer”.
