Pharmasave raises awareness about High Blood Pressure
July 16, 2019Last year, it was estimated that more than 206,000 Canadians were diagnosed with cancer. To show support for those living with the disease,
make a positive difference in the lives of Canadians and build strong communities, Pharmasave will once again
partner with the Canadian Cancer Society for Daffodil Month.
Held every April, Daffodil Month is the charity’s naational fundraising campaign. From April 1 to 30, daffodil pins will be available
at Pharmasave’s more than 650 locations across the country. Funds raised will support world-class research and services
for patients and their families, such as the Cancer Information Service which answered more than 43,000 questions from Canadians last year.
“When the ones we love diagnose with or die from cancer, friends and family often want to do something to help
or honour them. Fundraising enables change and we can all have a part in advancing the cancer cause through our generosity,”
says Carly Schur, National Director, Corporate Programs for the Canadian Cancer Society. “We are very pleased to partner
with Pharmasave and inspire by how the campaign has grown over the years thanks to the hard work and
commitment of the staff in every store location.”
Pharmasave has been a committed partner of the Canadian Cancer Society for several years.
In this time, more than $370,000
has been raised.
“From coast to coast, giving back to the community is a core value at Pharmasave,” says Jennifer Engele, National Manager,
Marketing and Communications. Each Pharmasave store operates independently to serve its individual community,
with programs and services tailored to the needs of the consumers and a commitment to helping all customers.
“Pharmasave proudly supports what matters in communities because communities matter to Pharmasave,” says Engele.
With nearly 1 in 2 Canadians expected to be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime and a nearly 35% surge in
cancer cases anticipated by 2030 due to our growing and aging population, now more than ever, your generous support need.
