Help raise money for Juravinski Cancer Centre by supporting the JCC Pumpkin Patch!

No tax, no buyer's premium!

The pumpkin patch raised $144,000 in four years for the hospital foundation, including a record $54,000 in 2021. Jessica Durka has her fingers crossed this fifth and final year will be a blockbuster. “Our goal was always that $200,000 mark, so we’re really hoping we can reach that total this year,” she said. “It is a ton of work. We wanted to make sure we went out on a high note.” Each year, the Durkas donate the proceeds to a specific project at Juravinski connected to blood cancers. Past donations have supported the stem cell transplant unit and funded the purchase of a flow cytometer, which aids in the analysis of blood cells. Durka said reaching her fundraising goal would fill her with “an immense feeling of gratefulness just to be able to make a mark, knowing $200,000 can certainly contribute a lot of things to the cancer centre.”
