BC Cancer - 2017 Donor Impact Report - 2

SARAH ROTH,

ANDREW SWEENEY,

President & CEO,
BC Cancer Foundation

"As I reflect on my first full year
at the BC Cancer Foundation, I
am most inspired by our donors,
who have taught me so much
about compassion, strength
and motivation. Travelling to BC
Cancer's six centres across the
province to support our efforts to
bring advanced care closer to home
underscored for me the importance
philanthropy plays in cancer care.
It is a privilege to be at the helm of
such a worthy organization which
knits together the many threads of
British Columbia's generosity. We
will continue to do great work with
you as our partners."

"When I hit the road for the annual
Ride to Conquer Cancer, I'm always
struck by the collective passion
of thousands along the route,
magnified by the 100,000 who
gave to our cause this year. We
are unified by a mission to reduce
cancer rates and ensure that more
British Columbians live healthy,
cancer-free lives. The Foundation
Board shares your passion and is
inspired by each of you who enable
life-changing progress."

President, BC Cancer Agency

"Each year, 25,000 people in B.C.
will hear the words 'you have
cancer.' We have a world-class
cancer control system in B.C., but
this could not happen without
you. There is a revolution in
cancer treatment going on, and
we now have a growing inventory
of innovative treatments to offer
patients. Many are therapies
matched to an individual's
disease through our program in
personalized cancer medicine that
is made possible by your support.
Thank you on behalf of everyone at
BC Cancer for supporting our work."
