Dear ICRF Family,
As we prepare to welcome Rosh Hashana, I want to take a moment, as the new CEO of the Israel Cancer Research Fund, Toronto (ICRF), to extend my warmest wishes to you and your loved ones for a year filled with health, happiness, and peace.
The High Holidays are a time of reflection and renewal. At ICRF, we reflect with immense gratitude on the generosity of our community. Because of your support, groundbreaking cancer research continues in Israel—research that saves lives, drives medical breakthroughs, supports Israel’s economy, and brings hope to patients and families in Israel, Canada, and around the world.
Yet, this moment in history reminds us that the need is greater than ever. Cancer does not wait, and neither can we. Your giving ensures that Israel’s brightest scientists and physicians can focus on discovery, innovation, and cures that change the future of cancer treatment. As we enter 5786, we invite you to continue standing with ICRF. Together, we can bring healing, hope, and strength to those who need it most.
On behalf of our Board, our staff, our researchers, and the countless lives touched by your generosity, thank you. May the coming year bring only blessings to you and your family.
Shana Tova,
Elysa Greisman
Chief Executive Officer
Israel Cancer Research Fund
