Western Direct Insurance Quote 4 Cures Campaign Raises $27,500

Annual campaign supports the Canadian Cancer Society and the fight against women’s cancers

Calgary – The partnership between Western Direct Insurance and the Canadian Cancer Society continues to produce overwhelming results.

The second annual Quote 4 Cures campaign raised $27,500 in the fight back against women’s cancers. For every car or home insurance quote completed in October, Western Direct Insurance donated $10 to the Canadian Cancer Society.

“At Western Direct Insurance, we believe cancer is everyone’s business – and we’re thrilled to see that Albertans supported our program,” says Jeff Burke, President of Western Financial Group which offers the Western Direct Insurance product. “Every single person who completed an insurance quote online, over the phone or in person last month helped us make a significant impact in the fight against women’s cancers.”

Western Direct Insurance’s Quote 4 Cures campaign coincided with Women’s Cancer Health Awareness Month, during which the Society raised awareness of breast, cervical, melanoma and colorectal cancers. Combined, these four cancers account for more than 40 per cent of new cancer cases in women.

Money raised through Quote 4 Cures supports Society-funded research into women’s cancers. Furthermore, the campaign served as an important reminder for women to speak with their doctors about screening and early detection – two of the most important tools in the fight against cancer. In most cases, catching cancer in its early stages is the key to successfully beating it.

“Nearly half of all Canadian women will be diagnosed with cancer,” says Tiffany Kraus, External Engagement Lead with the Canadian Cancer Society. “Thanks to the support of Western Direct Insurance campaign and all Albertans who participated in Quote 4 Cures, the Society will be able to make great strides in the fight against women’s cancer as well as offer crucial support to women living with cancer.”

Western Direct Insurance has raised $52,500 through Quote 4 Cures since launching the campaign in 2012.
