Plunge for the Cure Foundation
Overview
The Plunge for the Cure Foundation is a registered Canadian charity focused on raising funds for drug and treatment development targeting ovarian cancer. Established by a group of Vancouver residents, business owners, and philanthropists, the foundation aims to support life-saving ovarian cancer research.
Purpose
The primary purpose of Plunge for the Cure is to improve the survival rate of ovarian cancer through funding critical research. Ovarian cancer has a notably lower five-year survival rate compared to other cancers like prostate cancer. In Canada, approximately 3,100 women are diagnosed with ovarian cancer annually, with over 1,950 fatalities attributed to the disease.
Annual Event
The foundation organizes an annual plunge event, typically held on the last Sunday in May at Kitsilano Beach in Vancouver. Participants fundraise and then participate in a symbolic plunge into the water to raise funds and awareness about ovarian cancer. The event contributes to the celebration of the onset of summer while supporting a critical cause.
Research Partnerships
The funds raised by Plunge for the Cure primarily support research at the University of British Columbia (UBC) and Vancouver General Hospital (VGH) facilities. These world-renowned research centers are key recipients of the charitable funds, which focus on translational projects aimed at improving treatment outcomes for ovarian cancer patients.
Funding Initiatives
Through initiatives like the Plunge for the Cure Impact Grants, the foundation supports translational research projects. These grants prioritize projects utilizing clinical samples and associated with funded clinical trials to maximize the impact on current patients. Each grant can fund up to $125,000 per project over one or two years.
Registration and Legitimacy
Plunge for the Cure Foundation is registered with the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) under the business number 773481601RR0001. This designation as a registered charity ensures compliance with CRA requirements, allowing donors to support the cause securely.
