New foundation aims to raise more money for cancer in Sask.
Nearly everyone has either been touched by cancer or knows someone who has – now a new organization launched in Saskatchewan aims to raise more money for those people.
Though it’s been the official fundraising partner for the Saskatchewan Cancer Agency since the beginning of the year, on Wednesday morning, the Cancer Foundation of Saskatchewan was officially launched.
It’s an independent, arms-length organization which will take over donations and fundraising for the Saskatchewan Cancer Agency. The agency works on the ground in Saskatchewan to help treat and support patients.
Nora Yeates was named the new CEO of the foundation. She explained the difference between the foundation and the agency.
