To top it all off, proceeds from your ticket purchase will be supporting the Canadian Cancer Society and their efforts to understand and combat cancer and improve treatment for patients and families battling this disease. The Society dedicates 100% of the net Lottery proceeds to research into all types of cancer, benefiting people all across Ontario. The Society’s successes include discovering:
- that the gene mutation that causes retinoblastoma, a cancer of the eye, allowing for earlier diagnosis and treatment
- that medulloblastoma, a childhood brain cancer, has 4 distinct subtypes. Now, treatment is personalized to improve survival and reduce side effects.
- vinblastine, a drug that is instrumental in treating certain types of childhood lymphoma and brain cancer
The proceeds from the Wheels of Hope 50/50 Raffle are dedicated to the Transportation Program at the Canadian Cancer Society, providing cancer patients with rides to their treatment appointments.
