Pop-up Community Kiosks

 

Raising awareness for breast cancer is vital. It’s what we believe, live, and breathe. 

That’s why Breast Cancer Canada pop-up kiosks are important. You’ll find them in communities across Canada – at shopping centers, community events, and retail locations.

The goal is to connect locally while sharing information about ground-breaking breast cancer research. 

Look for our BCC tables and signs in retail locations across Canada. Meet our teams both indoors and outside (weather permitting).


Have you recently visited one of our community kiosks?

We invite you to share your experience with us at: events@breastcancerprogress.ca

Support our Regional Hubs

Regional Hubs across the country support the vision of our National Strategy. Branch members have a designated portfolio that contributes to the Regional Strategy. 

Our dedicated volunteer members work closely with patients, donors and community partners to raise awareness of Breast Cancer Canada and the importance of breast cancer research.

A vital aspect of our Region Hubs is our Patient Reported Outcomes research. Our volunteers are working with local cancer centres to assist patients with recording their treatment side effects and outcomes. This data will direct new research initiatives for better patient care during the breast cancer journey. 

Breast Cancer Canada volunteer initiatives provides opportunities for individuals and organizations to become active in supporting breast cancer research across Canada.   Learn more

Volunteer with us locally to:

 
  • Be the driving force behind Patient Reported Outcomes research
  • Fundraise for life-saving breast cancer research
  • Raise awareness around the importance and impact of our research
  • Advocate for access to testing and breast cancer treatments

Together we can raise awareness to the importance of breast cancer research and share Breast Cancer Canada’s purpose. After all, the more we know, the sooner we can end it.

LEAVE A GIFT IN YOUR WILL

This is often called a bequest. It’s the simplest way to make a legacy gift. A gift in your will has no effect on your current income and your estate receives a charitable donation tax receipt. Here’s a sample of simple bequest wording : “To pay the sum of $_________ OR _______% of the residue of my estate to Breast Cancer Canada.”


DONATING A LIFE INSURANCE POLICY

Life insurance is a way to provide financial security for your family. If the needs of your family are already taken care of, a life insurance policy is a smart way to donate to charity including tax savings for your estate. Speak to your financial advisors for your personalized advice and learn how a gift of life insurance can work for you. Here’s the top-line on ways of leaving gifts of life insurance:


Bequeath your policy to Breast Cancer Canada for the future:

  • Name Breast Cancer Canada as the beneficiary of your policy. BCC will receive your insurance proceeds tax-free. Your estate will receive a donation receipt.


Transfer ownership of a paid-up policy to Breast Cancer Canada now:

  • Want to gift us your existing, paid-up policy right now? Make Breast Cancer Canada the beneficiary and owner of your policy. You will receive a donation receipt for the fair market value of the policy. BCC may redeem the policy now, or hold it and receive the face value in the future – however your gift can be put to best use.


Transfer ownership of a policy on which premiums are still owing to BCC now:

  • Premiums still owing? You can still opt to transfer your policy ownership to BCC. You’ll receive a donation receipt for the policy’s fair market value. Want to make it an ongoing gift? Transfer the ownership to BCC, and still continue to pay the premiums owing. You’ll receive donation receipts for those payments too.


DONATE A TFSA, RRSP, RRIF

Register a significant difference in the lives of those affected by breast cancer. Donate the proceeds of a registered account: Tax-free savings account (TFSA); Registered retirement savings plan (RRSP); Registered retirement income fund (RRIF). It’s a smart way to make a major contribution. Without reducing your current assets. Without subjecting the funds to probate fees. While reducing taxes on your estate through a donation receipt.

Making a gift like this is easy. Designate Breast Cancer Canada as the beneficiary of your registered account.  You benefit from the full use of your account(s) during your lifetime. We receive any remaining funds after your passing.
