Marita Simbul-Lezon’s SickKids Foundation Pledge

On May 18, 2010, the Hospital for Sick Children honoured notable philanthropist Marita Simbul-Lezon and her husband, Ronald Lezon, for their generous pledge of $500,000 to help fund the redevelopment of the SickKids Emergency Department. This commitment will provide vital support to the young visitors of the busiest emergency department in Canada. After immigrating to Canada from the Philippines, Simbul-Lezon earned a degree in business and became the vice president and director of Simbul-Lezon Wealth Management Group. Her time-consuming career has never prevented her from continuously giving back to the community and building a solid standing as a big-hearted humanitarian. www.sickkidsfoundation.com
