At Fight To End Cancer (FTEC), we are committed to one mission: knocking out cancer once and for all.
Through our annual charity boxing gala and year-round initiatives, we raise critical funds for cancer research, supporting the Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation in their groundbreaking work. We are proud to announce that this year’s fight just got stronger, thanks to the generous support of BMO Nesbitt Burns Inc. – Altberg and Kaszas Team. Their unwavering commitment to making a difference has led them to step into the ring with us, both figuratively and literally, as they become an official sponsor of our cause.
Led by Adam Altberg, the Altberg and Kaszas Team at BMO Nesbitt Burns Inc. has demonstrated an extraordinary commitment to community and philanthropy. Their sponsorship includes the purchase of a prestigious ringside table, ensuring they will be front and center for this incredible event. In addition, they have pledged a generous contribution in direct sponsorship to this year’s FTEC fighter, further emphasizing their dedication to making a tangible impact in the fight against cancer.
A Knockout Partnership for a Worthy Cause
Matthew Altberg will be stepping into the ring on May 31 as one of the official Fight To End Cancer corporate fighters.
BMO Nesbitt Burns Inc. has long been recognized as a leader in investment advice and wealth management. Their core values of integrity, dedication, and service align perfectly with the ethos of Fight To End Cancer. The Altberg and Kaszas Team, in particular, goes beyond financial stewardship; they understand that true success is measured by the positive impact we have on our communities.
This year the dynamic duo of Altberg and Kazas are also here to back FTEC2025 Fighter Matthew Altberg in his fundraising efforts. By stepping into the fight against cancer together, they are not only supporting research but also sending a powerful message of hope to those affected by this disease. Their generous contribution directly aids in funding life-saving research and treatments at the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, one of the top five cancer research centers in the world.
A Cause Close to Home
In their words:
“At BMO Nesbitt Burns, we believe in the power of hope, resilience, and community. That’s why we are honoured to support the Princess Margaret Fight To End Cancer in their mission to advance cancer research and bring us closer to a world without this devastating disease. Every dollar raised fuels progress to giving more and more families the gift of time by turning donations into lifesaving discoveries. We are grateful to stand alongside this charity, the incredible researchers, and most importantly for this evening, all of you who are here attending to make a difference. Together we can change lives in a very positive way.“
