Your support can make a difference in Breast Cancer Research

As a real estate agent with every sale of a house I support Sold on a Cure, an exclusive charitable fundraising partnership between the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation and RE/MAX real estate agents and offices. 

This year, more than $8 million was granted to some of the best and brightest minds in breast cancer research.  One example is the work of Dr. Peter Rogan.  Dr. Rogan is working on a project that has already detected new “cancer-causing” genetic mutations so that more cancers can be detected earlier.   You can read more  about his exciting work in this issue. The Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation also had the opportunity to meet more than 21,000 people in 128 communities across the province through the Pink Tour, where they shared information about breast health and breast cancer screening.  And over 57,000 Ontarians participated in the 22nd Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation CIBC Run for the Cure, raising more than $12.1 million.

Along with holiday shopping, this is the time of year when people “top-up” donations to their chosen charities.  I hope that you might consider a gift to CBCF this holiday season.  And this year your gift will go twice as far because one of our generous corporate partners will be matching all donations made to CBCF during the month of December to a maximum of $25,000.  That means if you give $50, they’ll get $100!   Click here to make a donation.  On their website is some helpful information about tax benefits of charitable contributions for your easy reference - click here to read more.

Please make a difference - I do too...
