In our first 9 years, we are proud to say that with the help of all of our donors, sponsors, volunteers and golfers we have donated $151,500.00 to Cancer Research and Technology - to all of you that have supported us, Thank you!!! Why Cancer? **The donations we make to the BC Cancer Foundation go directly to improving lives for people in British Columbia affected by cancer. Our donations pay for vital core funding - without which, scientists and researchers cannot apply for grants to continue their groundbreaking research. **In 1935, the cancer survival rate in B.C. was the lowest in Canada. With a belief that B.C. cancer patients deserved better, a concerned group of citizens established the British Columbia Cancer Foundation on May 7th 1935, over seventy-five years ago. And today, the cancer survival rate in B.C. is the highest in the country. Donors to the BC Cancer Foundation continue to support vital progress in research and care at the BC Cancer Agency. In 2010, they celebrated their 75th anniversary. Golf 4 a Cure is pleased to be able to have The BC Cancer Foundation again this year as our charity of choice. **The BC Cancer Foundation is an independent charitable organization that raises funds to support breakthrough research and care at the BC Cancer Agency. **The Foundation has offices in all five of the BC Cancer's Agency's treatment centres - Abbotsford, Fraser Valley, Southern Interior, Vancouver Island and Vancouver. **All information is from the BC Cancer Foundation Website
