Please join us as we host our 24th Annual Learning Breakfast on WICC Wednesday, November 17th, 2021 from 8-9 am.
WICC’s annual Learning Breakfast typically sees several hundred insurance professionals coming together for a delicious meal with colleagues while listening to guest speakers discuss cancer in its many forms. This year’s event will once again be a virtual breakfast and we are expecting record participation from across the industry. We had over 300 guests attend our inaugural virtual breakfast last year and we hope to surpass that number this year. Plus we raised just over $30,000 last year for cancer research!
As this is a free event (with a suggested optional donation), we are seeking sponsors to ensure we meet our dual goal of providing information that will help guests achieve a better understanding of cancer and its effect on our lives, and raise funds for the ongoing fight against cancer.
We are continuing with our Personal Stories theme for the breakfast in keeping with our 25th celebration.
Our two speakers are: Alyssa Vito and Reg Berringer.
Alyssa Vito:
Alyssa, who had always wanted to be an oncologist, had recently finished a degree in biochemistry when she was diagnosed with triple-negative breast cancer. Her cancer experience prompted a switch in career paths. Alyssa applied to graduate school and joined a CCS-funded lab researching non-invasive ways to better detect breast cancer using targeted molecular imaging probes. She completed her MSc and is now under the supervision of CCS grant recipient Dr. Karen Mossman. Her PhD work looks at immunotherapy and oncolytic viruses for the same type of cancer she had (TNBC).
Reg Berringer:
“In 2014, Reg was diagnosed with prostate cancer. Living 100 miles away from the nearest hospital in rural Nova Scotia, Reg heard about the Lodge that Gives in Halifax. He was able to benefit from receiving a comfortable home away from home during his treatment. After his diagnosis, Reg was committed to living a healthy lifestyle and lost a significant amount of weight through exercise and healthy eating. He considers himself a cancer thriver and continues to keep a positive attitude and healthy lifestyle.”
We would like to offer your organization the special opportunity to be a sponsor of this year’s event. Sponsorship of WICC’s 24th Annual Learning Breakfast will heighten your brand visibility with sponsorship opportunities that include advertisements in the presentation slides, mention in the event speech, inclusion in WICC’s social media and event promotions, and highly visible name recognition as a valued supporter of WICC.
Differentiate your company from the competition by contributing to this industry-supported showcase event for a great cause and sponsor the WICC Breakfast!
We offer a variety of sponsorship packages, and any level of support is greatly appreciated.
What better way to start the day than an hour with friends, a hot cup of coffee and learning the importance of coming together as an industry to raise money for an important cause? This year, more than ever, your support counts – because cancer doesn’t go on lockdown.
