THANK YOU TO DONORS AND VOLUNTEERS
As we start anew into 2017, CNETS Canada would like to acknowledge and thank all our donors and volunteers for their generosity. We are so grateful for your financial gifts and gifts of time and sharing of your expertise.  As a result of your support, we can do our work around education, support, awareness and research. We couldn’t do our work without you.

In late 2016, CNETS Canada launched its new Case for Support . As a result, we are happy to announce that we have new monthly donors, annual contributions, major gifts, gifts of stocks and bonds and bequests. Monthly gifts allow us to plan. Annual and major gifts make it possible for us to expand our work. Bequests will help us plan for the future of CNETS Canada.
MEET AMANDA RICE
“I donate to CNETS Canada because I quickly saw how important the services that CNETS provides are to patients and caregivers after my husband was diagnosed with NET cancer. CNETS Canada makes such a difference in the lives of people affected by this disease, which is why I was inspired to donate myself and organize an annual fundraising event.”

Amanda is a market researcher in the financial services industry and mom to a 3-year old Labradoodle, Murphy.  She loves spending time exploring everything the city has to offer, but also likes to travel at every opportunity.  Her husband, Greg, was diagnosed with pancreatic NETS with extensive liver mets in 2010 and passed away in 2014.

2016 MAUREEN COLEMAN AWARD
One way that CNETS Canada honours those individuals who have made an outstanding commitment and contribution to the NET cancer patient community is through our annual Maureen Coleman award.

60 guests attended the award presentation in honour of Sherry and Natalie.
