Canadian Cancer Society – Fearless Challenge
The Canadian Cancer Society is a national, community-based organization of volunteers whose mission is the eradication of cancer and the enhancement of the quality of life of people living with cancer. Charity Dynamics helped realize this mission by developing a unique, sustainable, signature fundraising program that raises the bar for net revenue return through acquisition of new supporters, presents the Canadian Cancer Society as a charity of choice within the cancer sector, and brings the organization’s mission to life.
