Help Families Affected by Cancer with a Bid
On December 5, 2017 TRIO (Translational Research In Oncology) will be holding a silent auction and bake sale to raise funds for an initiative in partnership with the Cross Cancer Institute here in Alberta. The money raised will help cancer patients and their families to overcome the financial hardship that comes along with the disease and its treatment. At Shores Canada we decided to support the event with a small donation.
We invite our customers, partners, and readers here in the region to stop by and to take a peek at the auction items, place a bid, and/or enjoy some home-baked sweets. Here is TRIO's event invitation with location details. The event will be held in Edmonton, Downtown close to the Alberta Legislature.
TRIO's Bake Sale and Silent Auction 2017
A Quick Introduction to the Cause
TRIO is a not-for-profit clinical research organization that conducts clinical trials testing a wide range of innovative anticancer agents in many types of cancer. For this fundraiser, TRIO partnered with the Cross Cancer Institute, a facility that provides a range of healthcare services for people with cancer.
The funds raised during this event will be made available to the "Psychosocial and Spiritual Resources" department at the Cross Cancer Institute, which provides psychological, social and spiritual support to cancer patients and their families. The proceeds will help to purchase gift cards that can be used for gifts, food, and clothes, and will be issued to families with a family member diagnosed with cancer, and that are struck by financial hardship during the Holiday season.
Wall decor up for auction
Shores Canada is donating a set of genuine wall decors.
Please feel free to leave a bid on this wonderful art decor, which certainly will transform the mood of any room. We hope that our and the contribution of others will help with the cause and translate into a merry Christmas for these families.
