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.
