Doc Seaman estate donates $117M to charity

[Canada 02]

The Daryl K. Seaman Foundation Fund will support charities addressing “critical needs” such as mental health, aboriginal education, poverty and environmental sustainability, Ms. Friesen said. Indeed, save for the $10-million hockey fund, Mr. Seaman relinquished control of the funds to the grant committee. Ms. Friesen called the endowment a “gift that keeps on giving,” and pointed out that over the course of 100 years, the $117-million donation will have granted $1.4-billion.
