The Gerald Kirsh
Honouring Compassionate Care
Established by the Kirsh Family in partnership with The Princess Margaret, the Gerald Kirsh Humanitarian Awards are a tribute to the exceptional care that Gerald received during his treatment at Princess Margaret Cancer Centre. The awards give patients and their loved ones a way to help us Carry The Fire by recognizing the staff and volunteers who made a meaningful difference in their cancer journey.

Did a Princess Margaret Cancer Centre employee or volunteer go above and beyond the call of duty to provide you or a loved one with outstanding care?
