PARTNERSHIPS ARE KEY TO WCRG'S SUCCESS
WCRG's progress is tied to the strong partnerships with the Windsor Cancer Centre Foundation
WCRG has partnered with WCCF to build a Cancer Smart Education Program that translates and connects cancer research within the Windsor-Essex community. Details of specific initiatives will be shared in the coming months.
This spring Caesars Windsor kicked off WCRG's Nucleus initiative with a generous $20,000 donation. This allowed for the purchase of a drug screening platform as well as the development of an inventory that will enhance collaboration, reduce duplication, increase usage and allows for strategic planning and purchasing of needed equipment. Find our more about Nucleus.
WCRG continues it's partnership with snapd Windsor by highlighting cancer researchers six times a year in the print edition of snapd. Be sure to pick up the latest edition! Click here to see all snapdshots.
Thank you to our community minded partners for your continued commitment to supporting innovative cancer research and education in our own community.
