Highlights

OneWalk, big success
The inaugural OneWalk to Conquer Cancer was held on September 12, 2015. Participants now walk 25
kilometres over one day and fundraise individually or in teams for the cancer that matters most to them –
ONE DAY. ALL CANCERS. This year, 4,523 walkers raised more than $7.5 million.

Celebrating 20 Years in the Princess Margaret Atrium
The 20th anniversary of Music in the Atrium was celebrated on Feb. 17, 2016 – a tradition of weekly lunch time
performances in The Princess Margaret atrium by recognized Canadian musicians. Support from The Tauba and
Solomon Spiro Family Foundation makes this cherished program possible.

$50 million campaign for biomedical discovery
In June 2015, the Foundation announced a $50 million campaign to accelerate biomedical discovery at Princess
Margaret Cancer Centre. This campaign supports the Foundation’s five-year Billion Dollar Challenge – now in
its final year – which will enable the Centre to lead the way in personalized cancer medicine.
