The Spirit of Giving
The holiday season brings light into our lives; we know many choose to mark the season as a time to give. Desmoid Canada’s fundraising this year was impeded by the inability to hold in-person initiatives. But, one thing we know is true…
Desmoid Tumours do not stop for COVID-19. So, we cannot stop until we find a cure.
Our 4th Annual Holiday Fundraiser is now live on Canada Helps. Your support is needed and appreciated! Any dollar amount will make a difference!
With your support, the DFC will be able to finance and accelerate the next phase of meaningful, vital research.
Donations that were made earlier this year on behalf of our Spring Fundraising Event, sadly cancelled due to the pandemic, have been kept aside. We want to assure those donors that their generosity remains acknowledged and will soon be put into action along with additional funds raised.
THANK YOU for supporting our Desmoid Patients across Canada and worldwide. If you have any questions, please email us at desmoidcanada@gmail.com.
Take good care everyone and Happy Holidays!
