BMO is proud to be a part of our community and support the BC Cancer Foundation’s 2020 Virtual Inspiration Gala.

BMO and the BC Cancer Foundation are committed to changing the outcome for the over 5,500 British Columbians who will be diagnosed with a women’s cancer in 2020.

The BC Cancer Foundation is committed to changing the outcome for the over 5,500 British Columbians who will be diagnosed with a women’s cancer this year.

We believe BC CAN because we already are:

With donor support, BC Cancer was the first to sequence the DNA of breast cancer, leading to a new understanding of the disease and how to treat it.

BC Cancer researchers were the first to discover and implement a novel method to prevent ovarian cancer. This method has since been adopted by cancer centres around the world.

Today, BC Cancer is leading the charge to cure more women’s cancers through innovative therapies and precision medicine. We are on the cusp of more cures for women in B.C. and we invite you to join us and show your support through the 2020 Virtual Inspiration Gala presented by BMO.

Together, BC CAN change the story for women across the province, and we will.
