The Herbert H.

In response, he created the Future Aces Foundation in 1987 to inspire and empower youth in his hometown of Toronto. Since then, our programs have reached over 100,000 students across Ontario, offering motivational presentations, workshops, and scholarships for students who demonstrate leadership and community service. Our mission is to inspire and empower youth to positively impact society and reach their full potential.
