19th Annual Women of Action — ICRF Montreal

19th Annual Women of Action

 Brunch for Cancer Research

We are thrilled to announce that the 19th Annual Women of Action Brunch for Cancer Research, held on Sunday, November 10, 2024, raised more than $268,000 to date thanks to the support of our attendees, sponsors and supporters! These funds will directly contribute to making a tangible difference in the fight against cancer.

Over 330 guests gathered at Montreal’s Four Seasons Hotel to celebrate the remarkable achievements of honourees Sandra Abitan, Dr. Guila Delouya and Arlene Greenberg. The event was further highlighted by the captivating presence of our special guest speaker, activist Mandana Dayani, in conversation with Eden Polansky, who inspired us all with her personal journey and insights. It was a day filled with inspiration, unity, and hope, emblematic of our collective mission to make a difference.
