100 Men Who Care Southern Georgian Bay (SGB) chose to support Georgian Bay Cancer Support Centre at its March meeting, donating $13,843.
Georgian Bay Cancer Support Centre (GBCSC) is a non-profit agency operating in North Simcoe, parts of Springwater Township, and Southern Georgian Bay. GBCSC offers a wide range of evidence-based programs designed to support the psychosocial well-being of its members, being persons with cancer and their caregivers. With over 70 hours of serviceseach month, offerings include massage therapy, counselling, wig fittings, yoga, exercise, creative expression, support groups, educational sessions, traditional Indigenous healing, and financial assistance. There is no charge for any of the services or programs provided by the GBCSC.
Funding support from 100 Men Who Care SGB will go directly to support the new Southern Georgian Bay GBCSC location, which began June 2025 in Collingwood. The opening of the location has resulted in GBCSC membership numbers having tripled and hours of support having doubled to meet the demand for individual and group programming for community members facing a cancer diagnosis living in the Southern Georgian Bay community. “We are greatly appreciative of the support through 100 Men Who Care SGB. Their generosity will help us with financing the expansion of our services and programs into the Southern Georgian Bay Community,” said Dylan Lalande, executive director.
“We are pleased to recognize the Georgian Bay Cancer Support Centre and with this financial donation, support them in responding to the 2023 request of a group of Collingwood residents that the GBCSC expand into the Southern Georgian Bay Community to fill the gap in services available for persons with cancer and their caregivers,” said Bob Hughes, Leadership Team Member.
100 Men Who Care SGB brings together 100 or more local men, each contributing $100 at four yearly meetings to support a localcharity chosen by its membership. By pooling small contributions, the group makes a meaningful impact on local organizations and the people they serve. https://100menwhocaresgb.ca/
