My twin daughters, Marnie and Rena Schwartz, are the recent 2025 Women of Action ICRF (Israel Cancer Research Fund) Honourees of the Cherry Tabb & Herzig Eye Institute Women of Action Business Award! Just wow! 

 

Marnie and Rena are the co-owners/artistic directors of ViBE Dance and Fitness Studio in Thornhill, Ontario, and the co-authors of the self-development book, "Empower Your ViBE, Igniting Your Passion,  Purpose, and Brand to Ignite Your Unstoppable Best Self." Their book is dedicated to their dad, Saul Schwartz, who passed away from bladder cancer 20 years ago, with a portion of the profits from the book going to Cancer Research. 

 

Marnie and Rena, along with the other three trailblazer honorees, join a legacy of inspiring women! For over 23 years, ICRF has honoured women in the Toronto community for their passion, dedication, and leadership. They will be celebrated at a gala luncheon at the Fairmont Hotel starting at 11am on Sunday, April 27, 2025.

 

Please join us at this inspiring and important ICRF fundraising event. Did you know that without Cancer Research, I would not be here today. As Marnie and Rena share in their book, one month after their dad, Saul, passed away, I was diagnosed with Stage 4 Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. I am here today forever grateful and blessed. 

 

Marnie and Rena have also been featured this month in a beautiful article in the York University Magazine. Acknowledgments to Editor, Deirdre Kelly for making this happen!
