Taking place on Sunday, June 16, 2024, The Journey to Conquer Cancer will bring together thousands of people to raise funds for cancer research at the world-leading Princess Margaret Cancer Centre. Starlight has been a supporter of The Journey for over ten years and has cumulatively raised over $190,000 for the cause in addition to sponsorships.

"Making a positive impact in our communities is a core principle of our values at Starlight. We are honoured to be supporters of The Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation and the world-leading research of the Princess Margeret Cancer Centre.

At the heart of The Journey is the unwavering commitment to support the two in five Canadians that will be diagnosed with cancer and the many more impacted by it. While considerable progress has been made against cancer, the disease continues to affect Canadians at an alarming rate as the number of new diagnoses is expected to increase by 40% by 2030. Each year The PMCF works tirelessly with the help of its passionate community to raise crucial funds to help drive world-class cancer research forward and set new standards of care.

"We deeply appreciate Starlight's long-standing support as the presenting sponsor for The Journey to Conquer Cancer. Their continued commitment has helped fuel world-leading cancer research happening at The Princess Margaret, helping to improve patient outcomes here in Canada and around the world," said Steve Merker, VP of Corporate Community Partnerships, The Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation.

In the lead up to the event, Starlight employees are working in teams to raise funds and will be coming together to participate in The Journey on June 16, 2024. Throughout the fundraising campaign, Starlight is also matching donations received by The PMCF on select dates.
