Our Charity
The primary purpose of the Cupids Against Cancer organization is to raise money for programs that make a difference in the lives of children that have been diagnosed with cancer.
We concentrate our fund-raising efforts towards the On The Tip Of The Toes Foundation. We are one of their official partners. Katy went on a snowmobile expedition hosted by this charity group in the spring of 2003. That experience helped her to feel that she had the strength to go through the many things that life was throwing at her. We would like to help the foundation offer that same experience to the many teenagers that are living with cancer across Canada.
