We are thrilled to share extraordinary news with the BGU Canada community.

Our Exclusive Presenting Sponsor of the Toronto Gala for the past four years, the Wynn Family Charitable Foundation, is once again stepping up during a time of need, by making a truly remarkable and deeply generous commitment to Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU).

The Foundation has announced a USD$2 million special gift to support the repair and major upgrade of the Multi-Sports Arena at the Sylvan Adams Sport Center, which was destroyed during the Iranian missile attacks in June, 2025. The Multi-Sports Arena is one component of the broader state-of-the-art Sylvan Adams Sport Center, which also includes two swimming pools, the Powerwatts technological cycling training hall, locker rooms, and other shared community spaces.

This incredible investment, along with other exceptional donors including Sylvan Adams, will restore and reimagine a vital campus hub, enhancing the student experience and creating a state-of-the-art space for athletics, recreation, and campus life. Its impact will be felt by BGU students for generations to come.

“The Iranian missile attacks last June were among Ben-Gurion University’s most painful days. Seeing our Sports Arena destroyed was heartbreaking. We’re rebuilding stronger than ever thanks to generous supporters worldwide, led by the Wynn Family Charitable Foundation, whose friendship and leadership mean a great deal to all of us” said Ben-Gurion University of the Negev President, Professor Daniel Chamovitz.

With heartfelt gratitude, we thank the Wynn Family Charitable Foundation for their visionary support, extraordinary generosity, and continued leadership. Their commitment exemplifies the power of partnership and the enduring strength of the BGU community.

Together, we are rebuilding, strengthening, and moving forward.

Wishing you Shabbat Shalom!
