From November 1st to December 31st, the Founder’s Cup Charity Foundation will match every eligible donation dollar for dollar, doubling your support for advanced prostate cancer diagnostic technology at Ridge Meadows Hospital.
Together, we can give more men access to timely, precise prostate cancer diagnosis, closer to home.
Your $1 + $1 Match = $2 for local men’s health.
Local men are waiting too long for answers
When prostate cancer is suspected, a biopsy may be needed to provide a diagnosis. Today, local patients must travel to other communities for this procedure and can wait months for an appointment.
Bringing this service to Ridge Meadows Hospital would give physicians greater control over diagnostic wait times while allowing more patients to receive care closer to home.
“It avoids me having to look a patient in the eyes and say, ‘I’m really worried about you, but I can’t get a biopsy for you for four to five months.” – Dr. Ian Wright, Urologist
Help bring advanced diagnostic technology to our hospital
Your donation will help fund an ExactVu micro-ultrasound system with transperineal biopsy capability for Ridge Meadows Hospital.
Using high-resolution, real-time imaging, the system can help physicians identify areas of concern and guide targeted prostate biopsies.
ExactVu will:
- Provide more timely access to prostate biopsy
- Keep patients closer to home
- Support precise, targeted tissue sampling
- Reduce infection risk through a transperineal approach
- Build capacity to serve hundreds of men each year
Your gift will be doubled
From November 1st to December 31st, every eligible donation to the Men’s Health Matching Campaign will be matched dollar for dollar by the Founder’s Cup Charity Foundation.
That means your gift will have twice the impact for local men and their families.
Timely answers can change what comes next
ExactVu does not treat prostate cancer. It helps physicians investigate possible cancer and establish a diagnosis.
When prostate cancer is identified at an earlier stage, patients may have more treatment options and a greater opportunity to preserve their quality of life.
The impact also extends beyond the patient. Waiting for a diagnosis can affect partners and families through fear, uncertainty and concern about what the future may hold.
Helping local men receive answers sooner and closer to home can make a meaningful difference for entire families.
“The most important thing is that it gives me control over the diagnostic wait time and diagnostic accuracy for my patients with a concern for prostate cancer.” – Dr. Ian Wright, Urologist
