 "B.C. has the best cancer outcomes in Canada -
the lowest incidence rates for most cancers and the
highest survival rates for all cancers combined."
- Dr. Simon Sutcliffe, president, BC Cancer Agency
Dear Friends,
In the recent mail appeal, I have enclosed for you the BC Cancer Foundation’s 2008 Annual Report to Donors along with a Confirmation Receipt Reply Form.
This is an extremely important document. And it is testament to the positive outcomes being achieved thanks to the support of Cancer Research Partners like you.
When you ask yourself how your contributions are making an impact in the fight against cancer, you’ll find all sorts of statistics in the Report. You’ll see how much money has been raised, research programs  funded, number of patients served, and so forth.
The Report shows how the money is spent to support research and enhancements to care at the BC Cancer Agency, which is responsible for
cancer control of everyone in B.C.
Your gift today will further advance the research by BC Cancer Agency scientists and medical personnel in three critical ways:
- Translating discoveries in the laboratory into clinical practice.
- Promoting early detection which is paramount to boosting survival.
- Applying new technologies and knowledge to prevent cancer.
But to do this and fund other life-saving research, we need your ongoing support.
Please make a special contribution to the BC Cancer Foundation today.
There are many others like Donald Mackay who are depending on the cutting-edge research taking place at the BC Cancer Agency. And they are also counting on us.
Thank you for your steadfast support.
Sincerely,
David R. MacLean, M.D.
President and CEO
