Team TBCRU 2019, clôture de la campagne “Dress for the Cause

Share

Pour conclure mes articles de blog Dress for the Cause 2019, j’aimerais tout d’abord saluer tous les efforts extraordinaires de collecte de fonds qui serviront à financer d’incroyables recherches sur le cancer du sein. Notre journée “Dress for the Cause” s’est déroulée le 25 octobre 2019. Il était étonnant de voir toutes les activités, les ventes de pâtisseries, les concours et les autres événements organisés pour collecter des fonds et sensibiliser le public à une cause aussi importante. Cette année, les bénéficiaires de la bourse d’études TBCRU du Robarts Research Institute de la Western University ont été heureux d’organiser notre vente annuelle de pâtisseries TBCRU ce jour-là et de collecter des fonds.

Notre vente de pâtisseries a commencé à 9 heures. Nous avions plusieurs produits de boulangerie et une station de tirage au sort. Tous ont été financés par des dons généreux de membres de nos communautés de recherche, d’amis et de familles, ainsi que d’autres organisations locales à Londres. Comme vous pouvez le voir sur ces photos, les occasions de faire preuve de créativité ont été nombreuses. Décorer les pâtisseries en rose ou emballer les friandises avec les logos de la Breast Cancer Society. Nous sommes toujours reconnaissants à ceux qui continuent à fournir à notre équipe des produits de boulangerie chaque année. Nous avons la chance d’avoir quelques boulangers passionnés dans notre institut aussi !

Deux nouvelles initiatives ont été mises en œuvre cette année : le tirage d’une tombola et un photomaton pour que les gens puissent se prendre en photo. Partager sur les médias sociaux leur participation à notre événement “Dress for the Cause”. La tombola a connu un énorme succès, car ceux qui n’étaient pas intéressés par le don de produits de boulangerie pouvaient tout de même participer aux concours de la tombola. Notre photomaton était également très intéressant, il a permis aux participants de partager l’événement sur les médias sociaux et d’attirer l’attention sur notre site.

L'équipe TBCRU 2019

Après l’événement, notre équipe était heureuse d’annoncer que nous avions dépassé nos objectifs de collecte de fonds, en récoltant plus de 500 dollars pour la recherche sur le cancer du sein ! Nathan Orlando, un autre bénéficiaire de la TBCRU, a joué un rôle déterminant dans l’organisation des finances afin qu’elles puissent être ajoutées à la page de dons en ligne de notre équipe. Bien que l’événement de cette année ait été un grand succès, nous avons encore plus d’idées pour améliorer nos efforts de collecte de fonds pour l’année prochaine. Nous nous réjouissons également de participer à la marche annuelle de la fête des mères en mai 2020.

The more money we raise, the sooner we can end breast cancer. The more time researchers have in the lab. The more technology they can use. The more support we can get. Advancements in early detection and personalized treatment are in reach, and with your help to raise funds, we can find a cure sooner.

or more information, please contact: hello@breastcancerprogress.ca


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.
