In 2015 we will continue our commitment to the Canadian childhood cancer community by continuing our efforts to raise needed funds for essential pediatric oncology programs and initiatives. To that end we will be looking to improve, increase and expand our existing events such as the Sears National Kids Cancer Ride, new Tour for Kids events in western and eastern Canada, new events that will engage and inspire new audiences and communities to actively support children with cancer. And of course we will continue with our commitment to support 3rd party events which make important contributions to helping achieve our goal to reach a “destination beyond cancer.”
Our Volunteers and Sponsors make it possible for us to achieve our 100% donation distribution model. We strive to advance both our volunteer and sponsor programs to ensure that we can continue to operate as efficiently and effectively as possible. Expanding our sponsorship base, especially at the Foundation level, is critical for our sustainability and continued operation at the national level. We call on all of our supporters to help us in this effort and welcome any ideas or suggestions.
From all of us and the 10,000 families across Canada living with childhood cancer, we want to thank you for all you are doing to make a difference.
