Evan Sequeira, BCom, after final exams spent three months in Belize teaching health in secondary schools before starting a job in financial services in Toronto. There, he discovered a way to merge his background in finance and his passion for mental health by joining Capitalize for Kids – a non-profit organization supporting children’s mental and brain health at Toronto’s Sick Kids Hospital. Founded by Jeff Gallant and Kyle MacDonald, both BCom’11, the enterprise continues to organize an annual investors conference, which has raised more than $4 million for the hospital over the past three years. In November, the group launched the Capitalize for Kids Student Challenge, in which university students will compete in a portfolio-management challenge to become “Canada’s top student investor”.  Visit capitalizeforkids.org/challenge for details.
