What’s It Like To Come Face To Face With Your Biggest Fear?
Introducing the Windsor Cancer Centre Foundation’s powerful new fundraising campaign, Show Us Your Brave. When our loved ones are told ‘You Have Cancer’, patients have no choice but to face their diagnosis. This spring, show your support for our local cancer community. Commit to raising funds while stepping outside your comfort zone. Show Us Your Brave and stand with our loved ones bravely facing cancer.
MAKE THE PLEDGE. RAISE THE FUNDS. FACE YOUR FEARS.
There were over 110,000 visits to the Windsor Regional Cancer Centre last year. 100% of your generous support will ensure our loved ones bravely facing cancer will continue to receive world class care close to home.
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 your 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. The Windsor Cancer Centre Foundation is calling on our community to 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. To Show Us Your Brave, you are encouraged to participate in a thrilling event on Brave Day, or make the pledge to Brave Your Own Way. Click on one of the images below, or keep scrolling to learn more. Of course, you can always donate directly to the campaign, or choose a beautiful item from our signature jewelry collection.

Join Us On Brave Day For A Thrilling Way To Show Us Your Brave.
On Brave Day, 90 participants will have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to rappel down 170 feet from the top of the historic CIBC building in downtown Windsor.
Register for this thrilling experience and go over the edge on Brave Day. Rappel while raising awareness and funds for cancer patients in our community.

Your spot to rappel is not guaranteed until you reach the fundraising minimum.
Go Over The Edge Of The Historic CIBC Building On Brave Day
June 22nd: Join us for a powerful descent. Going over the edge of downtown Windsor’s CIBC building is an incredibly personal experience. You must trust yourself and the experts around you (which includes urban rappelling company Over The Edge). When rappelling 170 feet, there will be many opportunities for self discovery:
- Take that first step and see what’s on the other side of fear
- You will learn about your limits and your resilience
- Take a deep breath; you are in control
After all, the word ‘Rappel’ by definition means to bring back to oneself. Still have questions? Visit our FAQ page. Space is limited. Register today. Only participants who reach their fundraising goal will be eligible to rappel.
