About Cure Scleroderma Foundation
Pierina Nero, a patient who was diagnosed with Scleroderma in 2000, established the Cure Scleroderma Foundation (CSF) in 2005 in order to raise much needed funds which will enable the CSRG to continue with their research into Scleroderma and to promote awareness about this rare and uncommon disease. Pierina is 48 years old, married, and has three children. The CSF committee consists of a group of family and friends, as well as nurses who work with Scleroderma patients. Meetings are held monthly to discuss progress made and exchange ideas on fundraising initiatives.

        Past Fundraising Events

These events helped raise a total of $177,000.00 for the CSRG. In 2005 and 2006 many fundraising events were held, such as:

  • A golf tournament hosted by CT Consultants
  • Artists in Bloom held at Dawson College where artists created new works of art before a live audience, over a two-hour period, which  were then auctioned off
  • Shave-for-Scleroderma where a courageous friend, Janis Carlin,
    shaved her head
  • Two successful galas whereby funds were raised through silent
    auctions and sale of raffle tickets. Fun was had by all.

In November 2008, Annalisa Batista-Ferreira and Amanda Nicholson, organized another fundraising event at the Comedy Works. This event raised a total of $2,000.00.

On November 7, 2009, the CSF Fundraising Gala took place at Le Crystal Hall in Ville-St-Laurent. It was a very successful event raising more than $85,000

Fundraising events in 2010 included an evening of laughter at the Comedy Works.

The success of these events would not be possible if not for the generous support of our sponsors and donors. We look forward to their continued support to help make a difference to many living with Scleroderma.


The main fundraising event for 2011 is an evening with
The Beatles
on October 14th.
