TheStar.com - News - Sick Kids gets record $30M gift

TheStar.com - News - Sick Kids gets record $30M gift: "As Arthur Labatt figures it, this was his yacht.

Labatt and his wife, Sonia, yesterday announced the largest private donation ever to Toronto's Hospital for Sick Children, when they pledged $30 million for a new heart centre and expanded brain tumour research.

'I didn't want a super large house or a $30 million boat. So ... this is the boat,' said the Canadian beer scion, who really struck it rich in mutual funds as a co-founder in 1981 of Trimark Financial Corp."
