Go Pink™
We are committed to a future without breast cancer.
TELUS, the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation (CBCF) and the Quebec Breast Cancer Foundation (QBCF) teamed up for the 2011 Go Pink™ campaign supporting early breast cancer research. Between October 4 and December 31, 2011, TELUS contributed $25 to the CBCF/QBCF for each purchase of a pink BlackBerry® Curve™ 9360 smartphone, raising $400,000. TELUS also invited Canadians to join the “Pink Network” and for every user who created a photo gallery of their closest friends – or Breast Friends – $1 was given to CBCF/QBCF, raising an additional $250,000. Thanks to the support of our customers, TELUS donated $650,000 to fund five clinical fellowships across the country and continue to work towards a future without breast cancer.
Our Go pink™ partners
For the last 25 years, the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation has been at the forefront of a nation-wide movement to raise awareness and mobilize action on breast cancer. Today, the Foundation, through its four regional chapters, British Columbia/Yukon Territory, Prairies/NWT, Ontario and the Atlantic Region, is the leading organization in Canada dedicated to creating a future without breast cancer. Since 1986, from coast to coast, CBCF has invested over $230 million to fund vital research, education and health promotion programs that have led progress in breast cancer prevention, diagnosis, treatment and care.
In Quebec, the Quebec Breast Cancer Foundation has invested over $15 million to fund breast cancer research, education and awareness, and support programs. Now more than ever, the foundation’s hope and solidarity is brining Quebec residents closer to their visions of a life without breast cancer.
TELUS is committed to breast cancer detection and treatment
TELUS has long been a supporter of charities working towards a future without breast cancer. TELUS team members are proud to be among the millions of Canadians doing something about it. Since 2008, TELUS has given over $15 million for research, early detection and treatment of cancer in Canada.
“We are so proud to partner with the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation and the Quebec Breast Cancer Foundation to raise awareness on the importance of early detection of breast cancer in women and to come together as a pink network for a healthier Canada.”
