Research is the foundation of advancements for early detection and improved treatment options. BC is home to a world class research organization and with everyone's efforts, Workout to Conquer Cancer will enable major discoveries that will help revolutionize the way cancer is diagnosed and treated in the future.

On March 8, 2014 Janna (former Travel Group employee) will be participating in a day long fitness fundraising event to help make a difference in the lives of over 24,000 British Columbians whom have been diagnosed with cancer this year.  In efforts to help her raise money, The Travel Group has donated a suitcase for her to raffle off at her fundraising event.

Happy Holiday's from all of us at The Travel Group


At The Travel Group we like to support local charities, and with majority of our employee's growing up in the Vancouver area we feel it is important to help those in our neighbourhood.
 
Every agent can choose any of the charities in the Vancouver Downtown Eastside, there are many to pick from, but this year we all seemed to concentrated on 3. For each chocolate that we hand out this year a $1 is going to donated to their charity of choice.
 
Covenant House provides essential services for homeless and runaway youth aged 16-24.
 
Potluck Cafe Society provides training and employment to residents of the Downtown Eastside with multiple barriers to employment. They also serve nearly 30,000 nutritious meals every year to community residents.
 
WISH, Operated by women for the exclusive use of female sex trade workers. A registered non-profit society that furnishes a variety of services within a nurturing and non-judgmental environment. WISH offers on-site showering facilities, dispensing of hygiene items & clothing, nursing care, and a detox centre among other things.
Throughout the year we are continually fundraising with our weekly "Friday wine down,"  "Jean's Day" and one of our biggest fundraisers is our annual event "The Longest Day of the Year."
