SUMMARY:Gala to Change the Cancer Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Every two minutes\, someone in Canada receives a cancer diagnosis. While conventional medicine fights the disease\, patients frequently feel like a number in a fragmented system. Many turn to evidence-based integrative oncology to survive brutal treatment side effects\, but high costs force vulnerable families to choose between financial ruin or suffering in silence. \nThe Parmar Foundation is stepping into this divide to change the conversation. \nJoin us on Saturday\, October 3rd\, 2026\, at the Morgan Creek Golf Course in South Surrey for an elegant evening of community\, purpose\, and hope. Founded by integrative oncology pioneers Dr. Gurdev and Karen Parmar\, the foundation bridges the medical gap. \nAll proceeds directly fund: \nThe Patient Access Program: Fully subsidizing supportive\, whole-person cancer care for low-income BC families. \nClinical Research: Funding academic trials to prove how conventional and naturopathic systems can safely work together. \nEnjoy an exceptional dinner and live charity auctions. Help us ensure whole-person survival is a transparent right for everyone—not a luxury or a secret. \n\n\n	Related
