BMO backs student success |
|
BMO will support the unrivaled student experience at Georgian College as the presenting sponsor of Georgian’s two upcoming major fundraising events – the Georgian Gala and Golf Classic. All proceeds from both events provide needed student scholarships, awards and bursaries.
“We’re extremely grateful BMO will again be our lead sponsor on not one but two important efforts to support student success,” said Kevin Weaver, Georgian College president and CEO.
“BMO is a committed Georgian supporter – through sponsorships like this and also as a leading employer of students and alumni. This latest partnership enables us to continue removing barriers to ensure financial hardship doesn’t prevent a potential student from pursuing their dreams.”

Georgian graduates ignite support for students
Georgian College alumni continue to give back to ensure student success. Addison Wallwin and Ali Khonsari are doing just that as co-chairs of Georgian's largest fundraising event for student scholarships, awards and bursaries.
Addison Wallwin's remarkable journey has taken her from being a distinguished two-time Georgian alumna and Grizzly athlete to her current role as controller at Wallwin Electric Services Ltd. Beyond her professional achievements, Addison's commitment to Georgian resonates as she co-chairs not one, but two College events: this year’s Ignite the Night charity gala in November and next year’s Georgian College Golf Classic in May.
Ali Khonsari, also a Grizzly alumnus, continues to make Georgian College proud. As the owner and vice president of Image Dental Laboratory, serving as past chair and current member of Georgian's Board of Governors (2022-23), member of Georgian's Advancement Committee and the co-chair of the gala planning committee, Ali's contributions reflect his commitment to giving back. Through his leadership, he plays a vital role in supporting students in financial need and college initiatives.
With their ongoing contributions to Georgian College and the students who hope to follow their paths, Addison and Ali remind us that the journey doesn't end at graduation.
Thank you Addison and Ali!
