We're back for another year!
The “Pink Panthers” are a team of 4 friends banding together to fundraise and participate in The Weekend to End Breast Cancer. Our team goal is $10,000 but we can’t raise that without your help.
On August 17-19th, along with thousands of women and men we will walk 60 km in Vancouver and raise money to help support breast cancer research, education, and treatment at the BC Cancer Agency.
1 in 9 Canadian women will be diagnosed with breast cancer. Maybe someone in your life has been affected. It could be your mother, sister, wife, daughter, or a friend. The Weekend to End Breast Cancer is our chance to go the distance in the fight against this disease; it’s our chance to be a hero for someone we love or someone we may never even meet.
About the BC Cancer Foundation
Proceeds from The Weekend to End Breast Cancer will benefit the BC Cancer Foundation, an independent charitable organization which raises funds to support breakthrough research and compassionate care at the BC Cancer Agency, including its innovative new breast cancer research program using gene technology to develop personalized treatments built on the Agency’s unique strength in genome science and its province-wide cancer control system. The BC Cancer Agency is also dedicated to earlier diagnosis for breast cancer patients — a critical factor in improving survival. With cancer survival rates better than any other province in Canada, the BC Cancer Agency has become a model for cancer care and control around the world.
