The Imagine Gala: Honouring Mothers, Honouring Daughters
Imagine ...a world where breast cancer no longer claims lives.
...having the power to help turn that dream into reality.

More than 400 mothers, daughters and guests celebrated the courage of women who have faced breast cancer and the courage of their daughters who may face an uncertain future – all in support of a new MRI for St. Joseph’s Health Care, London. Special guest Libby Znaimer, Canadian broadcaster, author, and breast cancer survivor shared her personal story with the disease, and Londoner Deb Parr Nash also spoke about her battle with breast cancer and the care she received at St. Joseph’s.

Gift announcements made at the event totaled $375,000 and put St. Joseph’s Health Care Foundation that much closer to achieving its $3- million fundraising goal for the additional MRI with breast imaging capabilities.
