We are pleased to announce that Urban Impact will donate the proceeds from our next two Shred Days to the Philippine Red Cross to support the people of Manila who have been affected by the typhoon. Widespread flooding has affected millions of people in the Philippine capital, the worst flood since 2009, leaving many people trapped on their roofs.

We are happy to share that the proceeds from our next Shred Day scheduled on Wednesday, April 18th, will be donated to pancreatic cancer research. Pancreatic cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer death in Canada and according to the 2011 Charity Intelligence Canada report, patients diagnosed early only have a 9% survival rate. While other diseases are researching for cures, pancreatic cancer research is still in the midst of diagnostic and detection research.
