UFCW
Seeing a need to support the blood cancer community, members of UFCW Canada and its Local Unions made a pledge to help the work of the LLSC in 1985. Over the years, its members have passionately organized countless fundraisers and made donations to ensure that research continue to advance and for support services to be available and accessible to those who need it. Today, UFCW Canada has contributed nearly $50 million to improve the lives of Canadians affected by blood cancers and remain the single largest supporter of the LLSC.
