Hey Minnedosa!
CENTRAL PLAINS CANCER SERVICES
NEEDS YOUR HELP!
In Manitoba, twenty people a day are given a cancer diagnosis.
This diagnosis will stop people in their tracks and they will need to rely on
friends and family to get them through that fight. They will also need to
rely on the valuable services that Central Plains Cancer Services provides.
This grassroots organization gives right back to the people in their own
communities who are facing the biggest battle of their lives. In 2017
alone, CPCS provided 1,022 rides for Cancer Patients
to their cancer related appointments.
Central Plains Cancer Services is in need of your help. In April of each year,
canvassers around the region go door-to-door soliciting much needed
funds for our organization. Some of our zone leaders have been involved
in our organization since 1999, and although we are extremely grateful for
their support and service, we understand that it’s important for them to
pass the torch. We need some new faces leading our communities. We are
in need of people who want to give back to this valuable organization as
canvassers, zone leaders and community champions.
There is truly nothing more rewarding than giving back
directly to the community you live in.
Not every community has a door-to-door campaign. Some
communities choose to have a donation program where CPCS is the
chosen charity. Smaller communities have held their own fundraising
events where proceeds are given to us. Every little bit helps, and every
single penny stays within our communities to help those in our
community who need our valuable resources.
The need for our services continues to grow every year. We need the
communities that we support do their part to help us continue to help
those facing a life changing cancer diagnosis. Not only does our
organization help the patient, but we help their loved ones cope and be
supportive. In order to continue to do this and continue to provide
support in our surrounding communities we need people to step up
and help us raise valuable funds.
If you are someone looking to give back and make a
difference in the lives of others, please contact Central Plains Cancer
Services. We need to continue to raise funds so that we can continue
to help those who have been given a cancer diagnosis.
