TORONTO, Nov. 28, 2019 /CNW Telbec/ - JLL Canada announced today that it raised $103,000 in support of Breakfast Club of Canada during its Charity Month.

Founded in 1994, Breakfast Club of Canada has been nourishing children's potential by making sure as many of them as possible have access to a healthy morning meal before school, in an environment that nurtures their self-esteem and confidence.
