TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / December 7, 2023 / Worldsource Wealth Management (Worldsource) is proud to announce they have partnered with the national organization, Branch Out Neurological Foundation. This is the first major charitable sponsorship for Worldsource, marking a significant step forward in their progress to cultivate a values-based organization. In addition to an immediate donation, the partnership will allow Worldsource to continue to support Branch Out through fundraising, awareness and other initiatives.
"For Worldsource, it is extremely important that we give back to our communities in ways that will have a lasting impact," said Doce Tomic, President and CEO of Worldsource Wealth Management. "The Branch Out Neurological Foundation is an exceptional organization, with a critical mission. Neurological issues have a major impact on Canadians, and we are proud to partner with a charity that is making advancements in the field."
It is estimated that 1 in 3 Canadians are directly impacted by neurological disorders. With over 600 known brain abnormalities, there is a huge need for more research and innovative solutions.
"Branch Out is dedicated to accelerating tech and non-pharma solutions to neurological disorders," says Crystal Phillips, Co-Founder and Chair of Branch Out. "We are thrilled to be working with Worldsource. Their alignment with our values of compassion, open-mindedness, commitment, and courage, coupled with a sincere belief in the transformative power of partnerships, makes this collaboration especially exciting. Together, we share a common goal of making a meaningful impact and supporting the acceleration of neuroscience for optimal brain health."
Following years of grappling with a diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis, leading to the conclusion of her career as an elite athlete, Ms. Phillips sought to address gaps in the healthcare system. In 2010, she and co-founder Graham Daw created Branch Out to advance cutting edge research and alternative solutions in the field of neuroscience. Since its inception, Branch Out has raised over 3.5 million dollars and awarded over 145 grants to Canada's top innovative neuroscientists.
Thanks to Branch Out, alternative solutions and her advocacy, Crystal Phillips has been relapse-free for 13 years.
"We look forward to building a strong, long-lasting relationship with Branch Out," says Doce Tomic. "Their passion, dedication to innovation and entrepreneurial spirit aligns very closely with Worldsource and we are excited to be contributing to their ground-breaking efforts."
