Play for the Cure
Welcome to the fundraising page for Play for the Cure!
In 2019, the Juan de Fuca Minor Hockey Association held the inaugural Play for the Cure fundraiser and raised over $2400 to support the BC Cancer Foundation.
The event was deferred due to COVID and this hockey season, we have invited all Recreation Teams on Southern Vancouver Island to help us make it bigger and better!
Our goal is to raise over $5000 on February 25th through charity exhibition games and other fundraising initiatives, such as 50/50 draws, a raffle and this online fundraising campaign. Funds will support Patient Care & Comfort right here on Vancouver Island.
We all know someone affected by cancer. Please help us support those we love as we join together to play for the cure!
If you have any questions, please contact Dianne Small at b-dsmall@telus.net.
BC Cancer Foundation
We are the fundraising partner of BC Cancer. Our purpose is to be a catalyst, powering world class innovation while supporting deeply personal cancer journeys.
Every dollar we raise advances care across BC Cancer’s six world-class centers and research programs.
Our donors fuel hope for the 80,000 patients per year who depend on BC Cancer.
Home to some of the world’s top ranked scientific minds, BC Cancer is a place where remarkable advancements happen. We…
- Developed an advanced form of radiation therapy now used world-wide
- Discovered and deployed the first effective prevention strategy for ovarian cancer
- Were the first cancer centre to effectively treat a patient based on DNA of their cancer
- Proved cancer evolves over time and in response to treatment
- Launched Canada’s first population based lung cancer screening program
We know that one in two people in our province will face cancer in their lifetime and we’re igniting progress to break down cancer, piece by piece, in the labs and clinics.
The progress is real.
We are actively working with our donors and communities across B.C. to inspire investment in BC Cancer and our provincial teams of world-leading researchers, oncologists and care providers.
Cancer is relentless. But so are we. We Won’t Stop.
