Together we can bring hope
When cancer affects your life or the life of a loved one or friend, many people want to reach out and make a difference to those who are now being diagnosed and treated for cancer.
Below are just six reasons why giving to the BC Cancer Foundation truly makes an impact - in your community, across B.C., and also, on a wider basis worldwide.
- Support the best patient outcomes in Canada
British Columbians enjoy the highest standards of cancer care and treatment through the BC Cancer Agency.
- Make possible the most important advances in cancer prevention and care
Some of the most important breakthroughs in cancer today have come from BC Cancer Agency research, funded by the BC Cancer Foundation.
- Build on BC's unique population-based approach to cancer care:
The unique population-based approach to cancer at the BC Cancer Agency has a direct impact on every British Columbian; from prevention and province-wide screening to early detection and treatment. Cervical screening and screening mammograms are just two of the many examples of this approach.
- All funds raised are put to work right here in BC.
All money raised by the BC Cancer Foundation stays in B.C. and benefits British Columbians through The BC Cancer Agency network of province-wide cancer control.
- Make possible research that would not otherwise be funded.
For much of the innovative research at the BC Cancer Agency, the necessary funding is often not available from traditional sources, so donations are the only way to make these gains in the battle against cancer. Your donations also allow research to be fast-tracked, for gains that can help people sooner.
- For every $1 you contribute, an additional $4 more is raised
Your donations pay for vital core funding that allows scientists and researchers to then apply for further funding from granting bodies. Every $1 you contribute enables an additional $4 in grant monies, a 400% return on investment.
