The importance of research

An inspiring testimony by Olivia Gatien and the key role the CCS team plays to support people diagnosed with cancer.

The Effects of the Pandemic

We continue to exert our efforts despite the pandemic, but we still urgently need donations to support innovative research and essential services for people affected by cancer. COVID-19 changed everything in our lives and created significant delays in cancer diagnosis and treatment.

Key players are involved in important cancer research work in Quebec

A new partnership with CQDM (Consortium de recherche biopharmaceutique), the Cole Foundation, and Oncopole has led to a new four-year grant program worth up to $5 million. This program builds on the strong commitment of the CCS and its partners to fund research work in Quebec. Project funding is aimed at accelerating development of platforms, tools, and treatments to support advances in pediatric and young patient cancer prevention, diagnosis, and treatment.

The importance of research An inspiring testimony by Olivia Gatien

The name of this blonde and blue-eyed young girl is Olivia Gatien, a childhood cancer survivor. Having seen firsthand what cancer patients go through, Olivia’s family donates to CCS every year to support research, which is what allowed Olivia to go into remission. Despite her young age, Olivia is grateful to be alive and for the scientific breakthroughs that made it possible. Oliva plans to keep dancing, drawing, and practicing karate as an ode to her being alive, surrounded by her family and friends.
"Research is very important. I’m still here, and it’s because of generous donors like you. I'm grateful for that. The chances of survival for acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) are so high, thanks to advances in research. I invite you to contribute to the Daffodil Ball campaign. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart!"

People with cancer need you now more than ever. Support the 29th Annual Daffodil Ball today and help us build hope.
