Cathy Martin

DIRECTOR

Cathy Martin has been a dedicated volunteer and ambassador of Grapes for Humanity Canada since 2011 and was named to the Board of Directors in December 2016.

Cathy co-founded and actively manages the annual "Uncorked" series of fundraising events which have raised more than $250,000 for the charity to date.

Cathy has travelled as an ambassador of the Grapes for Humanity organization to Cambodia and Guatemala, to visit the projects funded by the Uncorked events and other charitable initiatives that Grapes for Humanity has made possible.

In 1995, Cathy received a BA in Psychology from York University and a Diploma in Rehabilitation Services from Seneca College.

She has worked as a consultant providing services to plaintiff injury law firms, branching out on her own as C.Martin Consulting in 1997.

Previously, Cathy was a volunteer fundraiser with the Canadian Cancer Society in Toronto where she gained a passion for charitable fundraising.

Her love of wine and travel was ignited in 2001 when she resided in Provence, France with her now husband. Her experience in France is what led to the conception of The Aspler Wine Tour, a yearly European wine tour, which she has co-founded and co-hosted with her husband, Stephen Pauwels, more than 10 years ago.
