TO OUR PARTNERS IN DISCOVERY, The BC Cancer Agency is leading the world in new cancer research discoveries through a strategic investment in teams of brilliant researchers and clinicians, and the application of cutting-edge technology. This investment is yielding incredible results that bring international attention to research happening in B.C., expanding the global understanding of cancer and dramatically improving the lives of cancer patients. Douglas Nelson President & CEO, BC Cancer Foundation This year, more than 115,000 donors partnered with the BC Cancer Foundation to raise $36.3 million for innovative research and enhancements to patient care at the BC Cancer Agency. This support will ensure that priority cancer research projects result in clinical advancements for people most in need. From lymphoid cancer and immunotherapy to rare and hard-totreat cancers, the BC Cancer Agency is leading the world in groundbreaking research that improves the lives of British Columbians affected by cancer. In November, our commitment to our donors was reafﬁrmed when the BC Cancer Foundation received accreditation from Imagine Canada's Standards Program for nonproﬁt organizations based on the strength of our governance processes, fundraising excellence and our ﬁnancial accountability and transparency. As our donors share their lives and stories with us, their losses and triumphs, they remind us daily of the importance of our cause. Jess Ketchum Board Chair, BC Cancer Foundation Together we're changing how the world thinks about cancer. On behalf of everyone at the BC Cancer Foundation, thank you for advancing cancer research and care in British Columbia. Thank you for being our partners in discovery.
