VGH/UBC  FOUNDATION LYMPHEDEMA PROGRAM FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGN 2020

In 2019 we initiated the first  fundraising campaign for the Lymphedema program.  We did really well raising $40,090,sufficient to purchase all the surgical tools. 
The clinic portion of the program opened in January 2020 ,Each month a team of six specialist including Drs. Brown, Weiss & Isaac conduct a thorough evaluation of each patient providing direction on all aspects of conservative management for Lymphedema.

The next stage is the surgery portion of the program  To do this we need to raise $150,000 to purchase two pieces of microsurgery equipment for corrective surgery to begin in early in 2021.  

Donations can be made on line by using this link.Tax receipts are issued directly from the Foundation here. 

We already have $40,000 committed in matching contributions, thus every donation no matter what size will double your impact to get the surgery up & running for January 2021!

There are just 2 weeks remaining before“Giving Tuesday,” Dec 1st, 2020, so we ask that you please share this with your family and friends to consider supporting this amazing project before the end of December for the 2020 tax year.
