National Partners

UFCW

Seeing a need to support the blood cancer community, members of UFCW Canada and its Local Unions made a pledge to help the work of the LLSC in 1985. Over the years, its members have passionately organized countless fundraisers and made donations to ensure that research continue to advance and for support services to be available and accessible to those who need it. Today, UFCW Canada has contributed nearly $50 million to improve the lives of Canadians affected by blood cancers and remain the single largest supporter of the LLSC.

iA Financial Group

A longstanding ally of the blood cancer community, iA Financial Group and its employees have been rolling up their sleeves to raise funds for blood cancer research and services for over 17 years. In those years, iA Financial Group has participated in a number of fundraising events and made financial gifts including the commitment to match donations to the LLSC on an annual basis. Their contributions through fundraising and matching gifts stands at more than $1.6 million today.

Marsh Canada

Another long-time supporter of the LLSC, Marsh Canada launched a new fundraising event in 2021 named The Jim Abernethy Challenge in tribute to the athleticism and competitive spirit of their colleague and friend whom they lost to lymphoma. This initiative rallies together the insurance and professional services sectors to fundraise for the blood cancer cause and secures Marsh Canada’s ongoing efforts to raise funds through Light The Night.

Marsh Canada is a long time supporter of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Canada and in 2021 launched a new event, The Jim Abernethy Challenge. Jim Abernethy was a member of the Marsh family, an outstanding leader, colleague and friend who was lost after his battle with lymphoma. Jim was an avid cyclist, loved physical activity, and had a competitive spirit so the challenge was designed to get everyone moving and competing.

This initiative brought together the insurance and professional services sectors and in the first year, raised an astounding $545,000! The second annual event returns September 8 – October 5, 2022 with a goal to raise $750,000.
