Join the mission to conquer cancer in our lifetime at the Paramount Conference & Banquet Hall on March 3, 2013. The event kicks off with Disco Days, a three-hour afternoon dance-a-thon that encourages participants to shimmy their way through the disco era while accumulating 10,000 steps. In the evening, the stage for Boogie Nights is set, with guests enjoying a fabulous dinner, fun surprises and entertainment by The Pointer Sisters.
The Dance to Conquer Cancer fundraiser is an annual event that supports The Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation, one of the top five cancer research centres in the world. Recently embarking on a billion-dollar challenge that will set the gold standard in personalized cancer medicine around the world, The Princess Margaret’s approach to cancer treatment involves four areas of focus: detect, diagnose, target and support. From breast and ovarian to prostate, brain and lymphoma cancer research, participants at the Dance to Conquer Cancer fundraiser can select the area of cancer research at The Princess Margaret in which they would like to support.
