Your impact, and the Foundation behind it

What the money buys, where it is installed, and how the Foundation works with the hospital that uses it.

The split

Where the money goes

Licence fees, the prize vehicle and the cost of running the raffle come out of the main lottery proceeds first. What is left is transferred to the hospital foundation account and spent on equipment the hospital has asked for, on a list agreed with the clinical teams before the campaign starts. Nothing goes to a general fund and nothing leaves Durham Region.

Equipment

What has been funded

Figures are the purchase cost carried by the Foundation. Where a purchase was shared with another funder, only the Foundation's share is listed.

The hospital

How cancer care is organised in Durham Region

That division of labour is the reason equipment at Ajax Pickering matters beyond its own catchment. A colonoscopy that finds a polyp early, or a biopsy read in two days instead of nine, changes what the regional cancer centre is treating later. The Foundation funds the front of that pathway.

The endoscopy suite, where colorectal cancers are found early enough to be removed in the same procedure.
Infusion chairs in the systemic treatment clinic, so patients are treated close to home.
The diagnostic breast assessment room, funded in 2024.
