WCRG Benefits from Concerts for a Cure
|
Caesars Windsor just kicked off its 4th Concerts for a Cure, a unique fundraising initiative during Breast and Prostate Cancer awareness months. For every ticket purchased for an October or November show in The Colosseum, Caesars Windsor will donate $1 to Cancer Awareness. WCRG is honoured to be one of this year's beneficiaries along with the Pajama Angels.
The donation generated by Concerts for a Cure along with matching funds from the University of Windsor's Faculty of Science will support WCRG's Nucleus Initiative - a core organizing centre for all cancer research facilities. Stay tuned for more details in Spring, 2017!.
Check out the concert listings and purchase tickets at Caesars Windsor.
