This year, the Windsor Cancer Centre Foundation’s Grow On Windsor campaign is raising funds to support the purchase of the DaVinci Xi Surgical Robot, as well as other vital lifesaving equipment. Thanks to tremendous community partnerships and generous contributions, the Windsor Cancer Centre Foundation has already secured $1.6 million to kick off this year’s campaign.
Generous supporters include Lisa & Brian Schwab, The Scott Family Foundation, Ground Effects Ltd., The Morris and Beverly Baker Foundation, The Toldo Foundation, the Stephanie & Barry Zekelman Foundation, and the Polonia Club.
The DaVinci Xi Surgical Robot is a groundbreaking tool used to perform robotic assisted, minimally invasive surgery for local cancer patients. This medical marvel extends the capabilities of a surgeon’s eyes by delivering 3D-High-Definition views, magnified at 10 times what the human eye can see.
The robot also extends the capabilities of a surgeon’s hands, using only tiny instruments inside the patient that are controlled by the surgeon adjacent to the operating table.
The Windsor Cancer Centre Foundation is calling upon our community to Team Up For Grow On Windsor and raise $2.7 Million in support of the purchase of the DaVinci Xi Surgical Robot and other vital lifesaving equipment for cancer patients in our community.
Houida Kassem, Executive Director of the Windsor Cancer Centre Foundation, addressed the full house of community leaders at today’s kick off, saying “Our mission goes beyond raising funds; it’s about providing hope. It’s about ensuring that every cancer patient has access to the innovative technology and treatments close to home. This collaborative effort exemplifies what we can achieve when we work together for a shared purpose.”
The Windsor Cancer Centre Foundation is calling on our community to raise the remaining funds to ensure lifesaving tools and equipment are available locally. Team up for Grow On Windsor by creating a team, or raise funds on your own, or donate today and support world class care close to home.
