TORONTO, May 22, 2024
/CNW/ - Starlight Investments is thrilled to announce that it
is once again supporting the fight against cancer as the presenting
sponsor of The Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation (PMCF)'s Journey
to Conquer Cancer.
Taking place on Sunday, June 16,
2024, The Journey to Conquer Cancer will bring together
thousands of people to raise funds for cancer research at the
world-leading Princess Margaret Cancer Centre. Starlight has been a
supporter of The Journey for over ten years and has cumulatively
raised over $190,000 for the cause in
addition to sponsorships.
"Making a positive impact in our communities is a core principle
of our values at Starlight. We are honoured to be supporters of The
Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation and the world-leading research
of the Princess Margeret Cancer Centre. It is our hope to help
advance this critical work to improve the lives of the many people
who are impacted by this disease," said Lauren Kenney, Chief People Officer, Starlight
Investments. Kenney is actively involved with The PMCF as an
Honourary Chair of The Journey to Conquer Cancer.
At the heart of The Journey is the unwavering commitment to
support the two in five Canadians that will be diagnosed with
cancer and the many more impacted by it. While considerable
progress has been made against cancer, the disease continues to
affect Canadians at an alarming rate as the number of new diagnoses
is expected to increase by 40% by 2030. Each year The PMCF
works tirelessly with the help of its passionate community to raise
crucial funds to help drive world-class cancer research forward and
set new standards of care.
"We deeply appreciate Starlight's long-standing
support as the presenting sponsor for The Journey to
Conquer Cancer. Their continued commitment has helped fuel
world-leading cancer research happening at The Princess Margaret,
helping to improve patient outcomes here in Canada and around the world," said
Steve Merker, VP of Corporate
Community Partnerships, The Princess Margaret Cancer
Foundation.
In the lead up to the event, Starlight employees are working in
teams to raise funds and will be coming together to participate in
The Journey on June 16, 2024.
Throughout the fundraising campaign, Starlight is also matching
donations received by The PMCF on select dates.
