Since the inception of Women In Insurance Cancer Crusade (WICC) in 1996, with the help of the entire insurance industry and its supporters, over $19,200,000 has been raised in support of cancer research and education. The involvement of all WICC supporters and volunteers has made it possible for WICC to achieve its Mission.

But there is so much more to do, and WICC needs your help to raise awareness, promote cancer research and education, and generate donations!

If you’re interested in learning more about getting involved with WICC, please contact your local WICC Chapter (ON, QC, AB, BC) and ask to get connected with your volunteer coordinator.

Alternatively, why not get involved in our Ambassador Program, which aims to empower dedicated professionals within the Canadian Insurance community to champion our mission to fund cancer research, support, and education, and to improve the lives of those affected by cancer.
