“It is our privilege to support one of our branch supervisors, Brian Donegan, in his pursuit to fight in honour of his father-in-law who passed away from cancer.”

Research Capital is pleased to announce the sponsorship of one of the FTEC 2025 fighters, Brian Donegan, who is also a valued member of our team. As part of our commitment to support employees and community initiatives, we are happy to contribute $5,000 toward Brian’s journey in the boxing arena. This sponsorship reflects our belief in fostering talent and determination both inside and outside the workplace.

“It is our privilege to support Brian Donegan in his pursuit to fight in honour of his father-in-law who passed away from cancer years ago, as well as one of our investment advisors who is fiercely battling cancer at the moment.

All of us know at least one family that has been affected by this disease, and that’s one too many. This sponsorship is the least we can do to help advance research, treatment, and one day, hopefully, a cure or even prevention of cancer. Defeat is not an option!”

– Iryna Zheliasko | Research Capital Corporation Representative

We are also excited to announce that Centre Lane Trading, an energy arbitrage company owned by Research Capital Corporation, will be giving a matching $5,000 donation to Brian Donegan’s fundraising campaign! This generous contribution effectively doubles the support for Brian as he prepares for his journey in the FTEC 2025 boxing event and the fight to end cancer. We are proud to see our associated companies come together to champion such a meaningful cause, bolster the hard work of this year’s FTEC boxers, and showcase a shared commitment to empowering community initiatives.

Thank you again for your support Team Research Capital Corporation & Centre Lane Trading!

Defeat Is NOT An Option!

Meet FTEC2025 Fighter Brian Donegan

I moved to Canada in 2015 and have been fortunate to call it home. My wife’s father, Donnie, passed away after a fierce battle with cancer, and the pain of that loss still lingers. Cancer has touched many families, and sadly, most of us know someone currently fighting this battle. Recently, I learned that a work colleague was diagnosed, which inspired me to step up and show my support. Alongside the FTEC2025 Team, I will dedicate months of training and hard work to this fight, in honor of my father-in-law, my colleague, and everyone who has battled cancer or lost a loved one to it.

The Fight To End Cancer (FTEC) is profoundly grateful for the unwavering support of our presenting partners: Grafton Apparel, Landscape Plus Ltd., and our newest partner, APEX Mobile Media.

Since 2014, Grafton Apparel has been a force in the community, contributing over $2 million to The Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation through innovative, year-round initiatives.

Landscape Plus Ltd., under the leadership of Jim Mosher and family, has been instrumental since 2012, helping to raise over $3 million in direct donations. Their dedication honours personal connections to the cause and strengthens our community impact.

Elevating their commitment, APEX Mobile Media, a key sponsor since 2020, has stepped into the role of Presenting Partner for 2025. Their global reach and expertise in mobile advertising are set to amplify FTEC’s mission, bringing the fight against cancer to a worldwide audience. Together, these partnerships embody our collective resolve to knock out cancer in our lifetime.
