raised through community fundraising

When we come together as a community, we can create a powerful impact. We are continually inspired by the dedication of community champions like Jordan and his team at Blended Athletics, who selflessly stepped up to organize their own fundraisers in support of QEII patients, families, and care areas. Their remarkable efforts show that we all have the power to positively impact the lives of others.

“After the event, I went home with such a full heart. I was so happy that so many people filled with joy came out to support this cause, even if they weren’t directly affected by brain cancer. When things affect our community is when people need to come together, and that’s just what they did.”

– Jordan Forbes

Jordan Forbes and his team at Blended Athletics have shown how just one spark can ignite a community movement that makes a difference. When three people in Jordan’s life were diagnosed with brain cancer, he wanted to rally support. That’s why he and his team organized the Summer Bash Against Brain Cancer, raising funds and awareness for QEII brain cancer treatment and research. The event exceeded expectations, with nine teams participating in an unforgettable day of games, food, and fun. Many others attended and generously donated, demonstrating the power of human kindness and community spirit.

From walks to bake sales, to online auctions and beyond, events and activities organized by our community fundraisers can be customized to support any cause close to home. Learn more about starting your own campaign at my.QE2Foundation.ca.
