Meets Philanthropy
P
hilanthropy was the hottest fall trend
on the runway at Hope Couture.
The inaugural event raised over
$1.5 million to acquire VERO, technology
that will advance treatment options for
patients with hard-to-treat cancers.
The Hope Couture fashion show and
luncheon soared under the leadership of

director. As a breast cancer survivor, Jane
is an unwavering advocate of research at
the BC Cancer Agency.
With gifts of $500,000 from The Peterson
Group Foundation, $500,000 from the
Milan & Maureen Ilich Foundation, $300,000
from Robert & Greta Ho and $200,000 from

became a reality. This technology will offer
new options and new hope for families
across the province impacted by cancer.

RESEARCH IS OUR FOUNDATION
T
his year, 2,246 riders pedalled over 200
kilometres from Vancouver to Seattle in the
sixth annual Ride to Conquer Cancer presented
by Silver Wheaton. Thanks to their collective effort,
B.C.'s largest cycling fundraiser raised an astounding
$9.4 million in 2014.
Non-Hodgkin lymphoma survivor Alex Blodgett
rode alongside his five sons: "I put myself out there as
a vivid example of how research really does save lives.
The dollars raised for cancer research have improved
outcomes for patients like me, and many others."
The Ride to Conquer Cancer is at the heart of nearly
every research discovery and breakthrough at the
BC Cancer Agency, across a wide spectrum of cancer
types. Since 2009,
the Ride has raised
over $60 million in
support of research
and enhancements
to care at the BC
Cancer Agency.
