Over $265,000 net raised through our end-of-year campaign
Our end-of-year campaign under the theme #CANCERHEROES raised over $265,000 net to fund more innovative research into all types of cancer to better prevent, detect and treat this disease. This completely digital initiative was held in November and December of 2023. During this campaign, we wanted to highlight a number of cancer heroes: patients who are fighting this battle on a daily basis, researchers continuing their work to outsmart cancer, and finally our generous donors who make it possible for us to fund cutting-edge research.
“This funding is instrumental in helping to establish my research, and will also support the training of young, emerging cancer researchers. I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to the donors of the Cancer Research Society. “
– Tiziana Cotechini, Reproduction Biologist, Onco-Immunologist and Recipient of a 2023 CRS operating grant
All the heroes fighting a common enemy
Three thousand four hundred and ninety people have made a donation within this fundraising campaign and we would like to offer them our most heartfelt thanks for joining us in the fight against cancer! Cancer remains the leading cause of death in the country, affecting 2 out of every 5 Canadians. Fortunately, your generosity is a superpower that can help save lives and change this alarming statistic. Your donation will help other heroes like you to fulfill their mission; researchers to outsmart the disease and patients to fight it. You are all cancer heroes in your own right and we are so grateful to you.

“Together we can make a difference and save lives. Thank you so much! [Our friend] Marie-Nathalie is still with us today, and that’s thanks to research and your support.”
