Impact Of Lock Out Cancer
Since its inception in 2018, the Windsor Cancer Centre Foundation’s Lock Out Cancer campaign has raised over $1.2 Million in support of cancer patients in our community. Lock Out Cancer began as a campaign supporting women’s cancer care. Because of this powerful campaign, the Windsor Cancer Centre Foundation has supported the launch of a Breast Reconstruction Program, which continues to be fully operational today.
As the campaign evolved to support cancer patients in our community, funds have been raised in support of Dignity Robes, the RENEW wellness program, Robes for Radiation, Refrigerated Centrifuge for clinical trials, and the region’s first ever Multi-Head Microscope.
