Another option includes setting up or supporting in honour or in memory accounts.
What is the purpose of the Cancer Research Associate card that is mailed to donors by the Foundation?
The Cancer Research Associate card is our way of acknowledging the commitment of our donors and expressing our appreciation for their support. As a Cancer Research Associate, you will receive the personalized card early in each year.
The card can assist you when making an inquiry to the Foundation, as it cites your donor number on the front of the card. It also provides you with a handy and easily accessible pocket sized calendar, for your reference, on the back of the card.
Will The Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation send out cards in honour or in memory of an individual?
Yes. We have many donors who make gifts in honour or in memory of friends and loved ones. When you make such a gift, a card will be sent to the individual that is being honoured or to their designated family member, to acknowledge your generous donation. For your convenience, the form to make memorial / tribute gifts can be accessed by clicking here.
When an ‘in memory’ or ‘in honour’ gift is made, is the amount of the donation disclosed?
No. The Foundation respects the privacy of donors and keeps this information confidential.
