Bruce Power and its supplier partners are donating $20,000 to Childcan in support of the fight against cancer.
The donation to Childcan will support the organization’s efforts to raise awareness and provide personalized, responsive and compassionate emotional, financial and social support programs and services to families experiencing childhood cancer.
Bruce Power Vice-President of Corporate Affairs and Market Development Pat Dalzell says with childhood cancer on the rise, it’s important the energy company does what it can to help Childcan fulfill its mission.
“By strengthening health systems and streamlining early identification, treatment and post-treatment care, Childcan helps families through every stage of the process with compassionate care,” says Dalzell.
Childcan also funds research at Children’s Hospital, London Health Sciences, and the University of Windsor, which is a new addition this year.
Childcan Executive Director Suzanne Fratschko Elliott says, “the generous support from Bruce Power and its suppliers amplifies our ability to respond swiftly and provide crucial support where it’s needed most. Their commitment strengthens our mission, and saying we are grateful doesn’t being to capture how deeply this impacts the families we serve,” says Elliott.
