Tom Ryan Cancer Care Fundraiser

 A Taste of the Senses, held on August 20th was our first fundraising event for the Tom Ryan Cancer Care Charity.

We had a full house of beautifully dressed guests from both Tom Ryan's lovely family and friends and other wonderful invitees.

The night was a huge success starting with sold out tickets, generous corporate sponsorships, as well as generous guest donations. We also had a silent auction including wonderful art pieces and lots of great items. Gourmet tasting stations and a local winery provided the refreshments and a lovely violin and chello duet set the ambiance for the night. Beautifully clad men and women were in great spirits as we celebrated the life of Tom Ryan.

Through this event we were able to raise $7, 751.00 towards cancer care treatments for palliative cancer patients looking to enhance their health and their quality of life during this difficult time. We look forward to helping as many people as we can with these funds raised and will be making this successful event an annual one.

 We would like to thank everyone who came out and enjoyed this beautiful summer evening with us!

Tom Ryan Cancer Care Foundation

At the Vivian Medical Spa we are honored to have had the pleasure of taking care of Tom on a weekly basis. No matter how much discomfort he was in, he always had a smile and a laugh in his voice. We enjoyed having Tom as part of our Vivian family and we want to remember him with this foundation.

Many people who come to us for treatments believe in what we can offer to them, but being a new and small company, we can only help financially with so much. With the help of the Tom Ryan Cancer Care Foundation and the people that donate to the fund, we would not have to turn anyone away because they cannot afford the treatments to help them live a better and more productive life. We have set up an account with the Royal Bank of Canada. We also have three very prominent local business people to sit on the Board of Directors to oversee the Foundation. We hope in the future many people, with the help of the Tom Ryan Cancer Care Foundation, will be able to appreciate the efforts and dignity of Mr. Tom Ryan. Donations to the Tom Ryan Cancer Care Foundation can be made at any Royal Bank of Canada.
