  • Thank you to the Robert Connor Dawes Foundation

    April 2019

    BCBA has been generously supported by a $25,000 grant from the Robert Connor Dawes (RCD) Foundation to support its operations.

    This is the third year we have received this generous contribution and we are grateful for the continued support of the RCD Foundation, which honours the memory of Robert Connor Dawes, who lost his life to ependymoma at the age of 18.

  • BCBA’s Bike Ride for Brain Cancer a Fundraising Success

    March 2019

    BCBA has once again been supported by an incredible community of riders, sponsors and donors getting behind its two-day bike riding event. This year 48 riders took on the 240km challenge, raising $185,000 (and counting!) to support BCBA in advancing brain cancer research.

    The 2019 event also featured a finishing line long luncheon at Calais Estate Winery, welcome relief for riders who endured 41 degree heat on their 100km final day journey.

    A big thank you to all who contributed to the success of the event and ultimately supporting BCBA on the road to a cure.
