  • Childhood Cancer Awareness Month is a time to stand with children and families facing some of life's toughest challenges. That's why Hamilton Health Sciences Foundation is raising $3 million to bring a revolutionary Alpha Photon-Counting CT (PCCT) Scanner to McMaster Children's Hospital. This next-generation technology can reduce radiation exposure by up to 80%, provide faster scans, reduce the need for sedation, and deliver sharper images for more accurate diagnoses. For pediatric oncology patients who often require repeated scans throughout treatment, this advancement could make a life-changing difference by providing safer imaging and greater precision in care. With more awareness, we're helping bring clearer answers, safer care, and stronger hope to children and families across our region. Learn more through the link in our bio.
  • 🎉 Breakthrough Bash was an incredible success! A huge thank you to our guests, generous sponsors, and donors for showing up, celebrating, and making a difference. Together, we raised over $600,000 to advance personalized medicine research. Your generosity is making a lasting impact.
  • Join us on October 12 for an exciting day on the pitch. ⚽ When you purchase your tickets through our exclusive link, $5 from every ticket will be donated back to Hamilton Health Sciences Foundation.
