Drive for the Cure Foundation

Drive for the Cure Foundation Care Today...Cure Tomorrow. Visit www.driveforthecure.com to support our cause! The ‘Drive for the Cure’ was born.

Over seventeen years ago, a group of individuals made a decision to change the way cancer has touched their lives. To channel the negative energy into something positive and to ultimately make a difference. Since its inception, the Drive for the Cure Committee, with generous support of local BC businesses and individuals, has raised over $1 million to provide funds for cancer care and treatment in British Columbia. At our 12th annual tournament, we raised $138,000 and this year we would like to better that mark. The objective for the Drive for the Cure continues to be fundraising through a number of events: most notably, the Drive for the Cure Golf Tournament. Proceeds from these events are used to enhance the health, well-being and quality of life for those struggling with this deadly disease. Projects undertaken by the Drive for the Cure include: the purchase of special diagnostic and treatment equipment; provision of funds for a Children’s Program to assist young children coping with this devastating illness in the family or the death of a parent or grandparent; and the purchase of visual aids to provide patients undergoing unpleasant treatments, a much needed moment of hope. This year 50% of the funds will continue to be distributed for cancer care and treatment and 50% will be placed in an Endowment Fund. As always, zero percent of the funds raised are directed to administration. All of our events and fundraising programs are designed and run by volunteers. With our 13th Annual Golf Tournament scheduled for Tuesday, July 12, 2011, we would like to invite you and your organization to join us for a day of fun on and off the links while helping us to assist those in need against cancer. We look forward in joining you to Help Make a Difference...........

We're proud to celebrate the longstanding partnership between Drive for the Cure Foundation and Surrey Hospitals Foundation.

This year marks the completion of Drive for the Cure Foundation's four-year commitment to advancing urological cancer care with a meaningful contribution, helping finalize our investment in state-of-the-art surgical technology, including a Thulium Laser.

This advanced tool will support our surgical teams in diagnosing and treating prostate, bladder, kidney, and renal pelvic cancers with:
✨ greater precision
✨ less invasive procedures
✨ faster recovery times

But the impact goes even further.

A portion of this generous gift will also help to establish Larry's Legacy Fund, made possible through the collective support of many donors, with principal contributions from ICT Group, Western Community College, LMS Reinforcing Steel Group, Femo Construction, and Lark Group. Dedicated to ensuring patients and their loved ones have access to the most advanced health care tools, more to come on this exciting initiative!

To our friends at Drive for the Cure Foundation: thank you for your vision, leadership and continued belief in exceptional cancer care. Your support is creating meaningful change today and for generations to come.

On December 18th, Drive for the Cure presented their multi-year commitment cheque to the Ridge Meadows Hospital Foundation, totaling $100,000! Drive for the Cure has been an incredible force in supporting the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of cancer at Ridge Meadows Hospital since 2004.

The funds this year will be directed towards acquiring Magseed, an advanced breast cancer localization system. Magseed is a tiny, implantable magnetic seed that marks the location of breast lesions. This innovation is designed to significantly improve the accuracy, efficiency, and comfort of surgical procedures for patients with breast cancer or other non-palpable breast lesions.

Drive for the Cure's ongoing mission is making a real difference in the lives of patients and their families, helping to pave the way for advanced cancer research and improved healthcare.

Join us in expressing our deepest gratitude to Drive for the Cure for their unwavering commitment to the fight against cancer.

Together, we can make a difference!

We were pleased to welcome the Drive for the Cure Foundation to Royal Columbian Hospital to present their donation. This year’s visit was especially meaningful, as it marks their most significant contribution in support of patient care across the communities they serve.

Through their charity golf tournament, they raised $150,000 to fund a Stryker PneumoClear Insufflation System for the RCH Superfloor, a signature feature of the Jim Pattison Acute Care Tower that brings multidisciplinary care teams and advanced technology together to deliver highly specialized care.

We are grateful for their generosity and the impact this gift will have on patients and care teams.

Happy New Year from the Drive for the Cure Foundation ✨

Each year, we set our sights on making the world just a little better — one step, one partnership, and one breakthrough at a time. Our mission continues: to help advance new innovations in cancer detection, treatment, and care so that more families get more time, more answers, and more hope.

Thank you to everyone who stands beside us, donates, volunteers, and believes in a future where cancer is detected earlier, treated smarter, and faced with greater compassion. Together, we’ll keep pushing forward — because every year brings new opportunities to change lives.

Here’s to a year of progress, courage, and hope. 💛

2025 marked a HUGE year for Drive for the Cure Foundation, yesterday Cooper Jeeves did her first chq presentation as a Director of the Drive for the Cure Foundation. As we see our kids mature into Adults its great to see them get involved with our dream of building a legacy with Drive for the Cure well after I’m gone. Im so looking forward to have Ella & Kayla join the team in the years to come.

We committed $100,000.00 to Peace Arch Hospital back in 2024 and this was our final payment for the the MRI Department for much needed equipment up-grades.

Well our team at Drive for the Cure Foundation were at it again this year at Christmas Time, we visited the New Royal Columbian Hospital in New Westminster to continue our support of the new Super Floor in the new Jim Pattison Acute Care Tower with a donation of $150,000.00, to follow is a note from the RCH Foundation :

“We were pleased to welcome the Drive for the Cure Foundation to the hospital to present their donation. This year’s visit was especially meaningful. This gift represents the most significant contribution the Drive for the Cure Foundation has made in support of patient care across the communities they serve.

Through their charity golf tournament, they raised $150,000 to fund a Stryker PneumoClear Insufflation System in support of the RCH Superfloor, one of the signature features within the Jim Pattison Acute Care Tower. The Superfloor is an interventional and surgical floor that brings multidisciplinary care teams and advanced technology together to deliver highly specialized care.

We are grateful for their generosity and the impact this gift will have on patients and care teams.”

Thank you to my team at DFC for your continued support of our vision to give back to our communities.

Merry Christmas Everyone, see you all in 2026

This week has been an amazing week for Drive for the Cure, we committed $200,000.00 to Ridge Meadows Hospital and Langley Memorial Hospital for the purchase of the Sentimag System with Endomag-(Magseed Marker)
A little about the equipment and the procedure a women goes through prior to her breast mastectomy.
Past method:
A wire inserted in the breast before surgery is a procedure known as wire localization or needle localization. It is used to mark the exact location of an abnormality, such as a small tumor or suspicious area, that can be seen on imaging (mammogram or ultrasound) but cannot be felt by hand

NEW with Sentimag System and Magseed Marker:

Magseed insertion is a minimally invasive procedure where a tiny metallic marker, smaller than a grain of rice, is placed into breast tissue to guide surgeons in removing non-palpable tumors. Unlike traditional wire localization, it can be implanted up to 30 days or more before surgery, allowing for flexible scheduling and a more comfortable patient experience
Key Benefits over Traditional Wires
• Increased Comfort: There are no wires protruding from the breast, which reduces physical discomfort and the risk of the marker being accidentally displaced.
• Logistical Flexibility: The procedure is decoupled from the day of surgery, removing the need for a stressful early-morning radiology appointment before the operation.
• Surgical Precision: The surgeon uses a handheld magnetic probe (Sentimag) to locate the seed to the millimeter, potentially leading to more accurate tumor removal and better cosmetic outcomes

Freedom has a cost—and today, we honour those who paid it with their courage, their strength, and their lives. On this Remembrance Day, may we take a moment to remember our veterans, our fallen heroes, and their families. Let’s carry their memory in our hearts and show our gratitude by building communities rooted in compassion and peace. 🇨🇦
