🩵 What an incredible day at Teal to Heal - Unama’ki Cape Breton last Sunday in support of women and families impacted by ovarian cancer. 🩵

A huge congratulations to Dena Edwards Wadden, her team and every volunteer, participant, donor, and supporter who helped make this year such a success. Together, $271,895.42 was raised this year alone! 🩵

That brings the 5-year fundraising total to more than $1 million raised through the Teal at Home Fund - an unbelievable milestone and a true reflection of what’s possible when a community comes together with heart, passion, and purpose. 🩵

These funds help provide support for local families facing ovarian cancer through travel assistance, accommodations, childcare during treatment, counselling support, respite care, medications, comfort bags, and more.

Cape Breton always shows up for one another, and we are proud to support initiatives that make such a meaningful difference in our community. 🩵

Thank you to everyone who helped make this event so special! 🩵
