You were part of the solution in helping fund local discoveries at the Paul Albrechtsen Research Institute CancerCare Manitoba.
This GivingTuesday iA Financial will generously match all donations up to $50,000.
Liquid nitrogen and carbon dioxide are two key resources necessary in all labs at CancerCare Manitoba’s Research Institute. These substances facilitate the study of cells needed to discover new treatments for some of the hardest-to-treat and most prevalent cancers.
Manitobans with cancer need your help.
By donating today, you will help secure regular supplies of liquid nitrogen and carbon dioxide in cancer researchers’ labs. Liquid nitrogen preserves the cells they need to advance cancer research. Carbon dioxide allows them to grow the preserved cells in order to answer their questions, and ultimately improve care for Manitobans.
The generous spirit of Manitobans has once again shone through. Thanks to over 700 donors including iA Financial, the labs at the Paul Albrechtsen Research Institute CancerCare Manitoba will continue to conduct experiments and make important discoveries using liquid nitrogen and carbon dioxide.
