You Are Brave. Even If You Don’t See Yourself As Brave, Others Do. And They Draw Inspiration From You.
What’s It Like To Come Face To Face With Your Biggest Fear?
This spring, take part in the Windsor Cancer Centre Foundation’s powerful fundraising campaign, Show Us Your Brave. When our loved ones are told ‘You Have Cancer’, patients have no choice but to face their diagnosis. Show us Your Brave challenges you to commit to raising funds while stepping outside your comfort zone in support of cancer patients in our community. Join us on Brave Day, June 21st and rappel the CIBC building in downtown Windsor or choose a challenge and Brave Your Own Way.
Last year, nearly 115,000 patient visits took place at the Windsor Regional Cancer Centre. Each visit represents someone bravely facing cancer, and with your generous support, they will continue receiving world-class care close to home. Best of all, 100% of every dollar you give stays local, helping cancer patients in our community.
MAKE THE PLEDGE. RAISE FUNDS. FACE YOUR FEAR.
‘You Have Cancer.’
Patients have no choice but to face their diagnosis. The Windsor Cancer Centre Foundation is calling on our community to step outside their comfort zone, raise funds and awareness for local cancer care, and Show Us Your Brave.
Show Us Your Brave
Fear is personal. When you participate in Show Us Your Brave, you are looking deep within, and building the courage to try something that fear has held you back from experiencing. Make the pledge to raise funds, and commit to facing something new and exciting (and maybe even a little scary), once you’ve reached your fundraising goal.
Participate in a thrilling event on Brave Day in downtown Windsor on June 21st, or make the pledge to Brave Your Own Way. Of course, you can always donate directly to the campaign, support one of our Brave Ambassadors or choose a beautiful item from our signature jewelry collection.
