The 2019 PCFBC Events

The Latest & Greatest From PCFBC & Upcoming Events

In the fall of 2018 the Foundation was busy with fundraisers and awareness. November was Pubs for Prostate month, pubs from across the province participated and raised over $5,000 and counting! Thank you to all pubs and patrons who came out and supported the cause. The Surrey Eagles Hockey Team also jumped on board with custom made Prostate Cancer Foundation BC jerseys. These limited edition jerseys were worn at their November 30th game against the Chilliwack Chiefs, and then auctioned off online with proceeds supporting prostate cancer research. The auction and hockey game created awareness around the importance of early detection through PSA testing. A huge thank you to the Surrey Eagles team, coaches and volunteers who helped make this event great! In December PCFBC was nominated to be one of the presenting charities at Give A Damn Vancouver. Over $4,700 dollars was raised that night for PCFBC. Thank you Give a Damn Vancouver for the opportunity, great event and your generous donation.

Ultimately working towards improving treatment and lives for men fighting prostate cancer. The three recipients were Jake Noble, Xinpei Ci and Shahram Khosravi.
