About THE QUILT

THE QUILT’s Vision

THE QUILT: A Breast Cancer Support Project (THE QUILT) will be the leading funding organization in Canada for the emotional and physical support of breast cancer survivors, their families and friends.

• THE QUILT’s goal is to ensure that no one faces breast cancer alone.
• THE QUILT is a charitable organization that provides you with a way to voice your support of Breast Cancer survivors through action (viewing, making or buying a quilt and telling your story).
• THE QUILT is a caring, supportive organization. It’s energetic, creative, determined.
• THE QUILT gives donors, sponsors, visitors and bidders a voice to express their support for those with Breast Cancer.

Objectives

The objective is to continue to raise funds to support increased resources for families and their supporters across the country in partnership with organizations such as Princess Margaret Hospital Foundation’s Survivorship program and with Wellspring. These caring organizations offer free physical and emotional therapies for survivors when they need it the most in a non-threatening environment.

Services supported include information, community support, alternative therapies, such as yoga, healing touch, music, quilting, and one on one counseling.

THE QUILT has raised over $1.5 million to fund programs that provide emotional and physical support to breast cancer survivors and their loved ones in its first eight years.
